your syntax for if statement is incorrect

if(response is No){     //no semicolon after if parenthesis
  console.printf("");    //semicolon missing
}

However for answering the third task of the challenge, you don't need to use if() in the do-while loop.

Just use the method console.printf("your text here"); after do-while loop is sufficient. You may have to use a format specifier '%s' for the response variable.
