4,958 PointsYou are almost correct with your answer, you just appear to have missed a few details from the question.
The question asks you to return the response that breaks the do while loop in a formatted string.
In this case that response is anything other than "No", as that is the response that the while loop is checking for, so there is no need to create a separate if statement like you have in your example.
// 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 while loops?");
} while (response.equals("No"));
console.printf("Because you said <%s>, you passed the test!", response);
So here we have a console.printf, which takes the response variable that has been set through the console.readLine method on the previous line and then using the <%s> String formatter we can include that response to allow the console to return to the user the response they sent.
Hope this helps.
