i don't know what's wrong with it

Now continually prompt the user in a do while loop. The loop should continue running as long as the response is No. Don't forget to declare response outside of the do while loop.

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
do {
if(response.equals("No"));
  { while(response.equals("No"));

you are prompting outside the loop. move it inside, and then you don't need the if statement, the loop will run until response is something other than no. also the closing } on your loop is a { so it needs to be a }.
