I can't find the error in my code. I googled the 2 error codes and still don't see it.
// 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{
boolean noAnswer = response.equalsIgnoreCase("no");
if (noAnswer){
console.printf(response);
}
} while(noAnswer);

Courses Plus Student 7,180 PointsHello mate,
The conditional expression of the do-while statement does not have access to variables declared within the statement's body. When a variable is declared within the body of a do-while statement, it's scope (its visibility to the rest of your code) is limited to the body only.
Hope this helps
