i have trouble plzzz help

Prompt the user with the question "Do you understand do while loops?" Store the result in a new String variable named response.

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String noun;
do {
noun=console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
  if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("true")  {
    console.printf("he knows do while loops\n");

  }
}while(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("true"));

Hey Saish,

There's a few problems here. For this challenge, you're supposed to store the user input inside of a variable called 'response'. You currently have this variable labeled as 'noun'. Secondly, you're supposed to run the do while loop while the user response equals 'no', instead of what you currently have, which is 'true'. You can still use the equalsIgnoreCase as you have for the challenge, however. Lastly, the prompt is asking you to congratulate the user if their response is anything other than 'no'.

Take a look here if you're stuck:

String response;
do {
    response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
} while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test", response);

Let me know if you're still stuck.

Best,

Jacob

In this challenge you must create a String with the name "response" and store via the readLine() method a input from a user inside the response String

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

Why did you use readline?
