What's wrong with this code?

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean wrongAnswer;
boolean rightAnswer;

do{
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
  wrongAnswer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));


  if(wrongAnswer) {
    console.printf("Do you understand while loops?  ");
  }

}while(wrongAnswer);

rightAnswer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"));

  if(rightAnswer) {
    console.printf("Because you said yes, you passd the test!");
  }

You need to add the correct flags instead of using hard coded yes as an answer:

if(rightAnswer) {
    console.printf("Because you said %s, you passd the test!", response);
  }
