I don't know how to fix this..
// 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?");
String no;
boolean ifItsNo;
do {
no = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
ifItsNo = no.equalsIgnoreCase("No");
if(ifItsNo)
{
console.printf("Do you understand do while loops?");
}
} while(ifItsNo);

You only need to run the loop while response == "No".
The trickiest part about this is that you have to declare the 'response' variable outside of the loop; but you don't have to actually assign it a value you yet. This is due to scoping - you wouldn't be able to evaluate 'response' in the While condition.
String response;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response == "No");
