How do I write a do while loop?

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble incorporating a do while loop for this code. If anyone of you could help me figure it out, I'd really appreciate it! :)

Thanks,

Hi Sami,

I have written an example of a do while loop below, if you have any questions about its structure or do while loops in general then feel free to ask me them.

do {
    // Do something here
} while(i > 50); // This is where your condition goes.

Thanks, Luke! I was able to figure it out. I was wondering if you could help me figure out what's wrong with this console.printf function?

console.printf("Because you said <response>, you passed the test! \n\n");

Treehouse keeps saying that I need to use console.printf with a formatted string with the response?

Thanks again for all the help!

Sami,

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