I dont know how to do the loop correctly.
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response= console.readLine ("Do you understand do while loops?");
do {
while(response.equals("No");
}

response= console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
inside the loop should fix it.
You do still need to declare response outside the loop

Treehouse Moderator 37,555 PointsHi Berkay. You have the basic structure of the Do While loop but you have a couple of Syntax errors. First on the while loop you open Parentesis twice but only close once. So add another ) to the end of your while.
while(response.equals("No"));
Also the curly brackets should close before the while statement not after.
}
while(response.equals("No"));
Now we need to think about what should go inside the loop. Each time you are going to check if the response = "No". If it equals "No" you loop again. If it doesn't equal No then you exit. So you should probably ask the user each time if they understand loops. Hope this helps and post back if you are still stuck

thank you very much already. But I still need help. How do I continue from here on:
String response= console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
do {
} while(response.equals("No"));
