I've tested this in WorkSpace, and it does what the prompt is requesting, yet it still says to try again. Halp!

The prompt is to make a Do While loop that prompts the user for a response and continues to ask while the answer is "no". My code does this, I've tested it in a WorkSpace, however the challenge still prompts me to try again. I'm assuming there is a different way to complete this task that the challenge would prefer I use. Thoughts?

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("Yes")){
    console.printf("Congratulations!");
    System.exit(0);
  } 
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

This also doesn't complete the challenge: 

String response;
boolean answer;
do{
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
  answer = (response != "No");
  if (answer){
            console.printf("Congratulations!");
            System.exit(0);
  } 
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

!!! SOLVED !!! Apparently I was being to advanced for the software check. see the following solution:

String response;
do{
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));

Hey CAS! Glad you managed to solve this on your own, but a piece of advice I would like to offer is never ever do anything in the code challenges that you weren't explicitly told to.
