HI Logan,

I modified and commented your code a little bit:

String response = "";
// the String variable must be named response
// and donΒ΄t forget to initialize it to " "

boolean isResponse;
// default value of the boolean is false

do{
response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops");
// assign the input from user to the "response"
isResponse = response.equalsIgnoreCase("No");
// check if the input is "No"
// then the boolean is true
}while(isResponse);
// while the boolean is true == Users input is No
// repeat the code inside the loop

console.printf("Because you said%s, you passed the test!", response);
// print the response out using String formatter %s
