I don't understand what is wrong. Apparently 'Task one' is not passing anymore, but i don't understand why.

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

You are declaring the type of the variable twice when you only need to when the field is initially declared. in other words, you don't need the String keyword to precede the response variable when you initialize its value. Also, you have spelling typo when you declare the variable. See the example below.

String response; //you were missing an 's' here

  do { 
    response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); // notice the String keyword does not precede here
  } while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
