507 PointsI'm so close but can't find the missing do while loop answer
when I switched my No answer restriction to yes it suddenly said my previous task was incorrect when it wasn't so I need help!
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean isInvalidAnswer;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
isInvalidAnswer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
if (isInvalidAnswer) {
response.equalsIgnoreCase("Yes");
response.equalsIgnoreCase("No");
console.printf("Because you said Yes you passed the test!");
console.printf("Please try again.");
}
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("Yes"));

String response;
boolean isInvalidAnswer;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
isInvalidAnswer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")); // if response = No; then isInvalidAnswer will be = true
if (isInvalidAnswer) { // isInvalidAnswer is True and will do the following till it is true
response.equalsIgnoreCase("Yes"); // take this line out of the code
response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"); // take this line oout of the code
console.printf("Because you said Yes you passed the test!"); //take this line out of the code and create an else (in case the if is not true)
console.printf("Please try again."); // it's OK this one
}
else {
console.printf("Because you said %s you passed the test!", response);
}
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("Yes")); //it must be No for the loop work

1,365 PointsI've past the challenge myself with this code, i will write it the way It must be after the alterations:
String response;
boolean isInvalidAnswer;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
isInvalidAnswer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")); // if response = No; then isInvalidAnswer will be = true if (isInvalidAnswer) { // isInvalidAnswer is True and will do the following till it is true console.printf("Please try again."); // it's OK this one }
else { // in case boolean is False
console.printf("Because you said %s you passed the test!", response); // boolean false = do this
}
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")); //it must be No for the loop work

507 PointsI used the your idea is still says that task 2 is no longer correct so I need to make the answer connect to my 2nd task answer somehow.
