May be the problem is, you are not changing the condition of while. Change that into 

 while(!response);

and declare one type of response. If you want to get a response from user boolean value (true or false), then use 

 boolean response;

and if you want a specific response like yes or no or anything then use 

 string response;

and after that in if else statement check equality for that. You don't have to declare both type at once.
