Task 2 of 3, very hard

i do not understand the question or the command .

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response=console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops  ");
if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"));
System.exit(0)

Instead of just answering how to pass, here are some hints on what you need to make this work. This question requires a combination of Strings, Booleans and the Do While Loop.

You need two variables, one for the response from the command line and one for the boolean value of if they understand (because the if() needs to check a boolean value, not a string.)

You'll need to then open your do while loop.

Then you'll need to get the response from readLine and set the value of your boolean based on if that response.equals()

Then you will use the value of the boolean in the while() of the do while block.

Hope these hints help!
