What did i do wrong?

Here is my code:

// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console. boolean wordNo; String response; do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? \n"); wordNo = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no")); if(wordNo) { console.printf("Wrong answer!"); } }while(wordNo);}

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
boolean wordNo;
String  response;
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  \n");
  wordNo = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
  if(wordNo) {
    console.printf("Wrong answer!");
  }
}while(wordNo);}

If you remove the last curly bracket } you will pass the challenge. Additionally, also note that on your (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no")) you can loose the outer parenthesis.
