Why is my "do" different than to "do" in this thread: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/continually-prompt-user-in-do-while-loop-declare-response-outside-loop-im-really-stuck-on-this
My Do: EDIT - My original code at http://pastebin.com/D2cPTH6g since we lose formatting pasting into the discussion.
That thread has the correct answer but the code was written differently than we learned in the Java Basics lessons.
Be great if the instructors gave the code they wanted in the notes or downloads..yeah teaching us to search is vital but we still need a benchmark from the creators.
// 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?"); // "yes" or "no" is stored in the response variable
// when someone types "no" the loop repeats
// when someone types "yes" the loop is exited
}while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You didn't do anything wrong except miss part of the instructions on the third step. If I copy/paste your code and add one line, it passes all three steps. The challenge (on the third step) explicitly asks you to print something out.
Take a look:
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);
Hope this helps!
