Hi there,

Let's go through step by step. First, it asks you to create a String variable called response, based on the user's response to "Do you understand do while loops?" - that looks like this:

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

That's Step 1. Next, it asks you to create a do-while loop that will continue until the user answers something other than "No". So, we want to do the prompt we just made over and over as long as the answer is "No". So first, we want to move the prompt inside the do-while loop:

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

Now, the challenge reminds us that we want to initialize response outside of the loop (otherwise, it will create a new variable every time) - so, we can do this:

String response = "";

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

Now we just need the 'while' condition - we know that we want it to repeat while the answer is "No", so:

String response = "";

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

That's it for Step 2. See if you can get Step 3 - you'll need console.printf.

Good luck!

thanks i really appreciate your help
