44,806 PointsA do while loop is written in the form
do {
} while (condition);
To avoid getting an infinite loop, try updating the value of response
inside the do
block so that the while
condition can become false.
To determine if the value of response
is the string "no"
, you can use response.equals("no")
with the word no
in quotes and surrounded by parentheses. However, the challenge is expecting response
to be compared to the string "No"
instead.
