What is the answer

Just need the dang answer so I can learn from it. I wish that after several attempts it gave it to you because I am truly stuck and frustrted.

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean wrongAnswer
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
  wrongAnswer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
  if (wrongAnswer)
} while(wrongAnswer);
console.printf("Because you said <response>, you passed the test!");

Hello

you got couple of typos

    boolean wrongAnswer needed a ';'

the if part needed a closing '}'

    String response;
    boolean wrongAnswer;
    do {
        response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
        wrongAnswer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
        if (wrongAnswer){
    } while(wrongAnswer);
    console.printf("Because you said <response>, you passed the test!");

if this answers you question, please mark the question as answered.

This is what worked for me:

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