don't know where is the mistake....need help
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean isInvalidWord;
do{
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
if (isInvalidWord)
{
console.printf("Because you said no <response> , you passed the test!\n");
}
}while(isInvalidWord);

try to change the following line as such:
console.printf("Because you said no, you passed the test!\n");
Remember when you do these challenges, the output must match exactly to what is expected. If you remove the <response> from your String, your code will the automated testing.

console.printf("Because you said no %s , you passed the test!\n");
