Hi shiraj,

You don't need a boolean or an if for this.

For the while condition, it wants you to loop as long as the response variable is equal to the string "No".

You can use the .equals method for that. response.equals("No")

This challenge is asking you to prompt the user with a question and store the answer, no need for a loop.

Prompt the user with a question . . . store the result in a new String variable

That's all there is to it, no need for a loop :-)
