Need help with java code challenge please

So I am new to coding, and I stumbled on this last challenge which i cannot seem to figure out. This is the challenge: "Now continually prompt the user in a do while loop. The loop should continue running as long as the response is No. Don't forget to declare response outside of the do while loop.".

This is what i got so far;

// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.

String response;

boolean isInvalidWord;

do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? "); isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"); } while (isInvalidWord);

So i think i declared the response string outside the loop. From what i understand boolean is looking for true and fals. while = the loop?

What am I missing? Anyone that can help me please?

I found out that i missed another ) after this line: isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")

So needs to be : isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

Sorry to have bothered you guys!
