Tried comparing using the equals. but wouldn't work

Any ideas why this wouldn't work?

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? "); }
while ( response.eqauls("No"));

You just have a typo - it should be 'equals', not 'eqauls'.

thanks alot for the reply. I fixed the typo here: String response; do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? "); } while ( response.equals("No"));

but it still doesn't work :/
