while statement does not end

while statement with response?

Example.java 
// 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?"); 
} while (response.equals("No"));
    console.printf("Because you said: response");
