Printing a string with a variable?

// 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?"); } while (response.equals("No")); console.printf("Because you said" + response + "you passed the test!");

What is wrong with this?

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?"); 
} while (response.equals("No"));
    console.printf("Because you said" + "response" + "you passed the test!");
