String response ; do { response = console.readLine("Enter answer:"); } while (response.equals("No")); ?????

I am really puzzled by this code example

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response = console.readLine("Enter answer: ") ;

String response ;

do {
   response = console.readLine("Enter answer:"); 

   } while (response.equals("No"));

Hello

You almost there. Your code should look like this:

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

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

If this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.
