Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong?
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
do{
response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops");
}
while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
console.printf("Because you said <response>, you passed the test!");

// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops");
do{
response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops");
} while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);

Here's the correct version:
do{
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops"); // store the answer in a variable of type String
}
while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
System.out.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response); // use printf
