I don't understand what I am supposed to do here.

The exercise seems vague to me.

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

This is just a comment that Craig Dennis has added, if memory serves me right, he goes over what this means in a later video. I wouldn't worry about it at this stage.

Prompt the user with the question "Do you understand do while loops?"

We've been doing this with things like "First Name: "

Store the result in a new String variable named response.

Create a new variable called response and store the result from the prompt in it. You can use the console object just like we have been.

That help?
