Do while loops quiz, second question

Could somebody please check my code and point out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks guys!

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean isNotRight;


do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops");
  isNotRight = (response.equals("No"));
  if (isNotRight)  {
  console.printf("Do you understand do while loops");

  }
  while (isNotRight);

Hi guys, got passed this bit and on the last part "Finally, using console.printf print out a formatted string that says "Because you said <response>, you passed the test!"

This is my code and its not working 

String response;
boolean isNotRight;


do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops");
  isNotRight = (response.equals("No"));
  if (isNotRight)  {
  console.printf("Do you understand do while loops");

  }
  } while (isNotRight);

console.printf("Because you said yes, you passed the test!");

Welcome to Treehouse! It looks like you advanced past your original question on your own - nice job!

The printf method is used to print a formatted string using placeholders for variables. Here is an example to get you started:

String name = "Jane Doe";
console.printf("Hello, %s!", name); // This will print: "Hello, Jane Doe!"
