Quiz error at 3/3

I'll get an error message at the last taks, but I don't see the problem.

my code:

String response;

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

console.printf("Because you said %, you passed the test!", response);

Could anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hi Albert

I think you made a mistakes here in your code: 

console.printf("Because you said %, you passed the test!", response);

You must use %s rather just % to represent string like this:

console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);

I hope this can help a little

You are missing "s". There should be %s but not only %.
