What is wrong with my program?

Question

I do not see what is wrong with my code
```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?");
String response;
do (
  response = ("Do you understand do while loops?");
  if(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
) while
```

Hi Will,
You're pretty close, but there are a couple of things you will probably want to change.
The do-while loop is a post-test loop -- which means that the condition we are testing is tested after the the code in the loop body.  This also means that the code in the loop body is executed at least once.
The if-statement can be removed and since the response variable has already been declared, we can set it equal to console.readLine in the loop body -- and "yes" or "no" will be stored in the response variable.  The loop will repeat if "no" is entered.
```java
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
  }while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
```
The above code will get you past the first two tasks.  If you have any further questions feel free to ask!  Hope this helps!
