im not sure what i have done wrong here. The compiler shows no errors

the work checker is saying i didnt use printf with the formatted response. Did i put it in the wrong place of the loop?

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"));{
    }   
}
while ( response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
  console.printf("Because you said " + response + ", you passed the test!");

Hello

please try something like this

        String response = "Heyya there";
        System.out.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);

I made up this snippet of code ... please adjust to match your need.

If this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.

Thanks
