Don't know what to store in the response variable

I used :

console.printf("Do you understand do while loops?"); String response = console.readLine();

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
console.printf("Do you understand do while loops?");
String response = consle.readLine();

Hey Elis,

the 'readLine' method expects a String for a prompt as an argument, so just pass in the question you are asking the user as an argument.

String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
