hello, I think you got problem with console.printf you need %s String formatter , and your code can be like

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