Now continually prompt the user in a do while loop. The loop should continue running as long as the response is No.

Can anyone tell me where the mistake is ? :)

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do{
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops?");

}while response.equals("No")

You are declaring a variable with the same name twice, it should be :

String response  = "No";

do{
      response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops?");
}while (response == "No")
