Hi milly. A couple hints:

  1. There should only be one console.readLine() statement. The loop will take care of re-asking the question by itself.
  2. Checking for a response of "No" should be done in the while part.
  3. There is a difference between No, which would be a variable or class, and "No", which would be a literal string.
