A do while loop is written in the form

do {

} while (condition);

To avoid getting an infinite loop, try updating the value of response inside the do block so that the while condition can become false.

To determine if the value of response is the string "no", you can use response.equals("no") with the word no in quotes and surrounded by parentheses. However, the challenge is expecting response to be compared to the string "No" instead.
