I don't see how I am causing too many loops

what's missing from my do while loop answer?

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
  do  {
    response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
  if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")) {
    console.printf("Please try again.  ");
  }
 } while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
     console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");

The problem is that you prompt for input after the loop has ended. You are only meant to ask for input inside the loop.

Doing that shouldn't produce additional loops, but it seems like it does something strange to the code checker that is causing a looping issue. If you remove the last line of code you won't get any errors.
