Do while loops!!

Please tell me where I went wrong!!!!

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
boolean response;
do {
  if (response) {

  }
      } while(response);

To meet the requirement to "continually prompt the user", the readLine function will need to be called from within the loop

And then to "continue running as long as the response is 'No'", you will need to compare the response with that word in a way that will cause the loop to end when it doesn't match.
