Next time please add your code so we can see what you did wrong! This is the answer:

String response;
do
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
console.printf("Because you said %s you passed the test!", response);

Apologies on not printing out the code. When I typed out the question there was an option to add code and I checked that thinking the code was added.

That said I did it slightly different but I was a bit confused on where to put in the final statement. Thanks again.

// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console. String response; boolean answer; do{

 response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?\n ");
 answer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
 if (answer) {

   console.printf("Try reviewing again.\n");
 }

}while(answer); console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!\n", response);
