The loop should continue running as long as the response is No. Don't forget to declare response outside of the do while

how do it?

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?");

Hello, you first want to declare your String reponse outside of the loop, then set up console.readLine() inside the do while loop so that the program consistently asks "Do you understand while loops" until the answer given is yes. It should look something like below.

String response; 


do {

response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops");
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));

Thanks, let me know if this doesn't help.
