What to do here?

Ive clearly added console.printf still it says no?

Example.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"));
console.printf("Because you said yes,you passed the test!");

When you declare your response variable, try adding: = "" like this.

String response = "";

also, in your while condition statement you probably need to delete the space between your "while" and the parenthesis.

I assume you want it to end the loop and say you passed, this worked for me...

    // I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response; 

Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
do {
System.out.println("Do you understand while loops?");  
response = console.next();  
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
System.out.print("Because you said yes,you passed the test!");


}
