488 PointsTiny error in printf code
There is a tiny error in the last line of my code. It's Challenge 3 at the end of a course. I have checked it is formatted correctly against what the question is asking.
The challenge says: Finally, using console.printf print out a formatted string that says "Because you said <response>, you passed the test!"
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean understand;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?" );
understand = (response.equals("No"));
} while (understand);
console.printf("Because you said ", response, ", you passed the test!");

488 PointsI solved it by adding %s and then adding the variable at the end.
I think I got confused with the javascript I was doing yesterday, where you can print ("this" + variable + "this") to the screen,
