I don't know get why this while loop isn't working.

This is the error i'm getting.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Too many loops attempted! Check your while condition. ()

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?  ");
    if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")){
    console.printf("try again!  ");
  }
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
   response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");

Hello,

The second challenge wants you to put the prompt inside a do-while loop as below:

String response;

do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
