A little confused. Am I declaring a new string outside of the do block and the using the console.printf to print it?

Do I declare and new string outside the block?

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.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));

Hi there,

Your code works fine for me. You just need the last task which is to produce some output using printf:

String response;

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

console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);
