HI, I am stuck in the following code challenge.
Prompt the user with the question "Do you understand do while loops?" Store the result in a new String variable named response.
Please help me out.
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?\n");
}

The reason I used .equalsIgnoreCase() in the while statement is that String is a class and should always be compared with another String using the .equalsIgnoreCase() method instead of ==. And the while part of a do while is a statement so never forget the semi-colon.
String response;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?\n");
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);

6,390 PointsHi Philip, I have done the same thing as you mentioned, without the response at the end of the print statement, however it still was successful. Could you explain to me why?
