For tasks 1 & 2 this is what theyre looking for:

String response; do{ response = console.readLine("Do you understand the while loops? "); //String response=console.readLine(" ");

// "yes" or "no" is stored in the inputFromUser variable // when the user types "no" the loop repeats, when "yes" the loop is over } while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));

String response; boolean isInvalidWord; do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); isInvalidWord = (response.equals("No")); }

while (isInvalidWord);
