Looping until the value passes

Hi guys

I have been stuck on this section of the question for about an hour now, and i still can't figure out what it is that i am doing wrong. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean invalidWord;
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
  invalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
  if (invalidWord) {
     console.printf("are you sure? \n");
      }
     }
     while (invalidWord);
console.printf("Because you said %n, you passed the test! \n" , response);

In your formatted string, you need to use %s instead of %n
