I have no clue what I am doing wrong
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean wrongAnswer;
do {
response=console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
wrongAnswer = (response.equals("no"));
if (wrongAnswer);
}
}while(wrongAnswer);

You correctly declare String response;
outside of the do-while statement, so that it can be accessed by the statement's conditional expression. Checking for the condition that causes execution of the do-while statement to end, from within its body, is unnecessary.
String response;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while (response.equals("No"));
Hope this helps

Courses Plus Student 2,022 PointsIf there's a boolean in it does it need to be told that the it shouldn't accept "No" both inside the brackets and outside?
