Java Java Basics Perfecting the Prototype Looping until the value passes

I got a problem

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.

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

Hi Ljupco Veljanoski,

The do/while loop looks like this:

String response;

do {
    // ask the questions here and assign to response;
} while (condition); //

Because do/while loop is guaranteed to run at least once you can just define String response outside the loop, then assign it inside the loop.

Happy coding,:dizzy:
