In your if statement, instead check if response equals "No" (if(response == "No")), and if the response is "No" you should additionally change your boolean No to "true" inside of the brackets of the if statement. Finally, have the boolean No equal "false" at the beginning of your do-while loop instead of No = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
