String DoWhile; String response; boolean xyz; do { DoWhile = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? "); response = console.readLine("%s", DoWhile); xyz = DoWhile.equalsIgnoreCase("NO"); if (xyz); } while (xyz);
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String DoWhile;
String response;
boolean xyz;
do {
DoWhile = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
response = console.readLine("%s", DoWhile);
xyz = DoWhile.equalsIgnoreCase("NO");
if (xyz);
} while (xyz);

String response;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
} while(response == "No");
console.printf("Because you said %s you passed the test!", response);
The first line declares a String variable named response. The next line starts the do...while loop. The third line prompts the user, and assigns the user's response to the variable response. The next line contains the condition for the do...while... loop, which means it will continue running until the user enters Yes. The final line prints a String to the console using the printf() method. Think of the %s as a variable that will be replaced by the value of response.
