Finally, using console.printf print out a formatted string that says "Because you said <response>, you passed the test!"

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
do { 
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); //the answer of the user will be stored/assigned from console into "response"
  } while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no")); 
if(response.equals("yes")||response.equals("no")){
       response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops ?"); 
  console.printf("No");
}

Hey Jules,

I see you had a very hard time with this challenge:

See the explanation of Allan and me here:

[ https://teamtreehouse.com/community/java-basics-7 ]

And here the code that should do the trick:

// TASK 1
String response;
// move this line in the do block
// response = console.readLine("Do you understand do whle loops?");
// TASK 2
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do whle loops?");
}while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

// TASK 3

console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);

Don´t give up, you will make it !!!
