Java Java Basics Perfecting the Prototype Looping until the value passes

Im being told that my while is an illegal start of expression. Anybody see the problem. =/

Unless im missing something this should be a simple answer to a simple code task.

Example.java
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
  if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no")); {
  console.printf("Sorry try again.  ");
  }
} while(response.equalsIgnoreCase);
