Struck with task 3 of code challenge:Finally, using console.printf print out a formatted string

"Because you said <response>, you passed the test!"

I've written the below code for the task:

String response; do{

response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); if(response.equals("No")) { console.printf("Because you said <response>, you passed the test!"); } }

while(response.equals("No"));

Erro displayed is Did you use console.printf and to write out the formatted string with the response?

Hi Bharath,

The final part of this challenge can be completed as follows:

// 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.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));

//This is task 3
console.printf("Because you said %s you passed the test!", response);

Hope this helps!
