I'm having troubles with the second-to-last question in the 'Java Basics' course.

I believe my code is attached below. I'm trying to pass in a loop if the answer to the question is 'No' but I'm getting an error. Conditionals aren't my strength so help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

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

String response;
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response=="No");
