I'm stuck

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.

String response; // Declare outside the loop

        do {
            response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
            if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")) {
                console.printf("Learn again!\n");
            }
        } while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

        console.printf("Great! Let's move on.\n");
    }

Hey there Yun Yin Ku 👋

You have an extra closing curly brace } at the bottom of the code you've supplied here. Removing that gets me through the first 2 steps of this challenge.

If you're stuck on step 3, you'll want to follow the directions very closely. These challenges are very particular about what they want and what they test for. You'll want to avoid adding extra code in them and if they provide a string, like step 3 does, you'll want to follow it exactly.

Finally, using console.printf print out a formatted string that says "Because you said <response>, you passed the test!"
