Java Java Basics Perfecting the Prototype Looping until the value passes

"Make sure you are looping while the value stored in response is equal to No" Why is the value not equal to no?

What am I doing wrong here? In the do block I stated answerIsNo is no when response is no. Why and how do I store the value in response as No?

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

 boolean answerIsNo; 



  do { 

  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops");

  answerIsNo = (response.equals("no")); 


  }
 while(answerIsNo);

Yes, it was case sensitive, but I never thought I had the right code. I completed it now, thanks a lot!

Herbert - maybe your answer "No" has to be case sensitive - so either the string from the user input needs to be converted to all lowercase so that it equals "no" or you need to change the value in the response.equals("No") to No with a capital N. I'm not sure as I havent done the challenge myself.
