Here is the task: Now continually prompt the user in a do while loop. The loop should continue running as long as the response is No. Don't forget to declare response outside of the do while loop.
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops? ");

The do-while loop will keep asking "Do you understand do while loops?" until yes is typed then the do-while loop is exited. The following code will guide you through task 2 of this challenge:
//Declare a String variable named response
String response;
// The do while loop keeps asking the same question until "yes" is entered
//So we want to keep repeating when "no" is typed
// Exit the loop when "yes" is entered
do{
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); // "yes" or "no" is stored in the response variable
// when someone types "no" the loop repeats
// when someone types "yes" the loop is exited
}while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
If you have any other questions feel free to shout them out on the forum! Hope this helps!

8,090 Pointsyou need to create a loop that continually polls a response from the user. It would look something like the following:
String response; // this is declared outside of the loop so that this variable can be seen by while do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops?"); } while (response == "No");
not sure if you need to take whether the letters should be upper or lower case into consideration for this task, but that may be important. You could also use the equals() method to check if response is equal to No.
