This should work, I am missing something. But for what ever reason I cant pass the code challenge with it. Any ideas?
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response = "yes";
do{
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response.equalsIngoreCase("yes"));

Welcome to Treehouse!
A couple of things.
- We want to loop while our response is No, not while it is Yes.
- You have a syntax error in your
equalsIgnoreCase()method. Check your spelling of the function.
Post back if you are still stuck, and happy coding.

The challenge can be completed as follows:
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response; //Declare response as String variable
do
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); //yes or no saved to response variable
while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no")); // Repeat loop if response is "no"
//This is task 3
console.printf("Because you said %s you passed the test!", response);
Hope this helps! If you're still having issues we're here to help!
