Hi,
I do not know where to put console.readLine... prompt. Can you help me please? :)
Thanks!
// 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? ");
if(response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
} while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
if(response.equalsIgnoreCase("Yes")); {
console.printf("Because you said %, you passed the test", response);
}

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