java.lang.RuntimeException: Too many loops attempted! Check your while condition.

String response;

do {
    String question = console.readLine("Do you understand DO-while loops?");
    response = console.readLine("Please select an answer: ");                     
    if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")) {
      console.printf("Please try again");
      }
  } while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

Hi Mohamed,

I think you have typed the wrong method in the second line of code:

String question = console.readLine("Do you understand DO-while loops?");

You are reading the line rather than printing the line. I'm not sure exactly what the method is to print to a console, however you can try this:

String question = console.printf("Do you understand Do-while loops?");

or

String question = console.writer.println("Do you understand Do-while loops?");

I hope this helped.
