BEING 2 DAYS TRYING TO PROMPT THIS BUT NO LUCK!!
/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./
String response;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? "); if (response == "no"); console.printf ("try again");
} while (response != "no");
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 22,660 PointsHi, the loop should run as long as the answer is "No" but your check is currently doing the opposite. Your loop reads like "Do XYZ while answer is not no", which means as long as the user doesn't enter "no", the loop continues running. What you want however is to only keep the loop running if the user actually enters "No", if the user enters anything else (including "Yes") the program should exit the loop. This means you have to check for equality instead of inequality.
Also keep in mind that Java is case sensitive, which means that "no" and "No" are not the same thing.
