I'm getting this message: You need to use console.readLine to ask 'Do you understand while loops?'

Am I not calling the console.readLine?

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

firs there is a typo inside readLine and you don't need an if. the do.. while do every thing

here is the full answer 

// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do { 
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); 

}
  while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);
