How do I ask the user a question?

It says I need to prompt the user with a question, but I've looked through my workshop and I haven't done anything like that.

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String questionAsString = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
String response

The users answer is stored into your questionAsString variable. Just change that to response and it should work.

I hope this helps.
