Courses Plus Student 623 PointsNo Preview Error Messages
Hello. I'm being told my code is wrong, but Preview isn't showing any error messages and I don't know where I went wrong. Thanks!
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean doesNotUnderstand;
do{
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
doesNotUnderstand = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
if(doesNotUnderstand){
console.printf("Try again...");
}
} while (doesNotUnderstand);
console.printf("Because you said" + response + ", you passed the test!");

Courses Plus Student 623 PointsHi, Devin. Thanks for the help. I actually ended up figuring it out moments after I hit send. I was concatenating the String into the code, rather than using %s, as you did in your code. Thanks!

2,935 PointsHey Riko, try this approach. We can try making the code even more simple than that.
Remember using the printf method in our first parameter we can use "%s" to insert our string variable and pass the variable as the second parameter.
