String question; boolean response;
do { String question = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
String response = question; if(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no."));
{ while(response ); console.printf("try again. \n");

Then in your do/while loop you store the answer in that variable of type String and you want to repeat this code as long as the answer is no. Your code should look something like this: String response;
do{
response = console.readLine(Do yoiu understand do while loops?);
}while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));

7,481 PointsIt's worth pointing out that you also lifted out the String variable response from the do-while loop. Since the condition check on the while statement is outside the scope of the loop it doesn't have access to the variable as long as it is declared within the loop. Now that you declared it before the loop, the condition check has access to it.
