You don't need an if statement in there; the while loop deals with it all for you. this would look like this:
do {
// this
}while(condition == true);
You've sussed the condition - you are testing to see if response contains the value "No", like response.equals("No").
The code you are looping is the prompt to the user to enter their answer - you've got that spot on.
So, putting all that together, it looks like:
String response;
do{
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?: ");
} while(response.equals("No"));
I hope that makes sense.
Steve.

Also please, please, please, count your curly braces. Every opened curly brace should be closed again. Otherwise your code will not compile. Here you open two curly braces and you closed neither.
