See my code. Why isn't my loop working?
// 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")
if (isInvalidword) { console.printf("Please try again");
}
} while(isInvalidword);

231,269 PointsThere are two issues on this line:
isInvalidword = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")
- there is a stray, unmatched open parenthesis after the equal sign
- the statement is missing a semicolon at the end
Happy coding! And for some holiday-season fun and coding practice, give Advent of Code a try!
