hey guys, I'm stuck on this problem, can someone help me Thankyou

dont understand how to get a true condition if the response from the user is no, or whether i should even be using a boolean data type

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
  Boolean responseIsNo;
do { 
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
  responseIsNo = response.equalsIgnoringCase("no");
} while (responseIsNo);

Try this:

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;

// The second,
do {

// For the first task:  (Delete 'String' on the second task),
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");


  // The second,
} while (response.equals("No"));

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