Hi Joseph,

I see you didn't put while test condition in your code. The "boolean no;" stament is not needed. You should add test if the prompted value from response is equal to string "No" in your while loop.

One of correct solution goes like this:

String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
do {
 response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while (response == "No");
