I feel like there were too many concepts put into one lesson and I simply don't understand. Can anyone give me the correct code for this please? and also with an explanation if its okay
// 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?");
}
while response= ("No");

Remember, when you want to assign something to a variable you use one equal sign (=), but in your case, you want to check for equality in your while loop. Since you are comparing two String objects its best to use the .equals() method. Therefore, while(response.equals("No")); Sorry it was so long winded, but I figured you wanted an explanation and an example rather than just one or the other.
