Hi Manish,

Task one wants you to assign user input into a String called response:

String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");

Next up you need to create a while loop that continues as long as that response is "No". 

String response; // move this here
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response.equals("No"));

Lastly, you have to output a message when the loop has terminated:

console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);

I hope that helps,

Steve.
