Console.printf is symbol error not understand

I put console.printf whit a string response is not working why?

Example.java 
// I have initilized 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("Try Again");
}             


 } while (isInvalidWord);

console.prinf("Because you said %s , you passed the test!" , response);

Hello

try this

System.out.println("Try Again");


System.out.println("Because you said %s , you passed the test!" , response);

if this answers your question, please mark question as answered.
