I have created a Boolean and trying to print out something when it is false. Somehow I could not be successful yet.

when the response is yes I want to print out you have passed the test but looks like I am doing something wrong.

Example.java
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response; 
boolean isInvalidWord;
  do { 
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
  isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
    if(isInvalidWord = false) {
  console.printf("Because you said " + response + " , you passed the test!");
    }

  }

  while(isInvalidWord);

Don't forget you need double equals == to check equality. Single equals = is for assignment.
