i need help with this java

i came across this in one of the chalenge questions and wondering if could get help from u guys.here is the question ==>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 = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");

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

Try using this in your challenge:

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

Remember to declare your String outside of the do statement so you can reuse it and your do statement should be inside a pair of curly brackets followed by the while statement
