What am I missing or doing wrong here?

It keeps saying that I don't have the response that I need. I am confused on what I need to do next

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

console.printf("Because you said        , you passed the test!");

Hi John,

Your printf statement should include the response variable:

console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);
