330 PointsLooping Task
I'm trying to write continual prompt to user in do while loop When previewing I get n,o errors, but when I check work I get " Bummer: Mae sure you're looping while the value stored in response is equal to No". Any help is appreciated.
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
String response = ("yes || no");
if (response == "no");
do {
console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while (response == "no");

Also, asking the question before the loop begins is entirely unnecessary.
And note that the console instructions say to check for "No" (with a capital "N") which is different from "no" in lower case.
