Help. Im very close to finishing this and I can't seem to figure it out.

Here is the prompt : Finally, using console.printf print out a formatted string that says "Because you said <response>, you passed the test!"

Hi there:)

Try this:

String response; 

do{ response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
}while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));

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

So..

You already have the code which prompts the user for a response until they say something other than "no".

Once this do while loop has finished, the code will continue. You should write some code after that congratulates the user and tells them the response they gave, which will have the same syntax as this:

console.printf("Congrats, you said %s and therefore you passed!", response);

Modify that to make it appropriate for the test and put it in the correct place, then you should be on your way!

String response

do {
 response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
