// 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 {
if (response.equals("No")){
console.printf("Do You understand do while loops");
}
} while (response);

String response;
do {
response= console.readLine("Do You understand do while loops");
} while (response.equals("No"));
the first problem is that the syntax requires something like while(condition). The value or expression that replaces the word condition needs to evaluate to a boolean. response is a string - hence the type mismatch.
