cant finish the last part of this section

String response = console.readLine("Do you understand so while loops?"); boolean noResponse = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")); having a problem coding the do while loop :(

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand so while loops?");
boolean noResponse = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

Hi there,

You need to create a do while loop for this. Before the loop, create the response variable. Then, enter the do loop, and prompt for user input, assigning that into response. Your while condition is exactly as you have written, response.equals("No") (you don't need to ignore the case, but that's detail).

I suggest you revisit the video to see how to construct a while loop.

Let me know how you get on.

Steve.
