Not sure why this code is wrong??

Prompt the user with the question "Do you understand do while loops?" Store the result in a new String variable named response.

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

String response = console.readLine("Do you undestand while loops: ");

You might try it with just a question mark instead of a colon. Does it say compiler error?

also the word understand has a missing 'r'.
