Am I creating an endless loop?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong in this code any suggestions or advice are welcome! Thanks!

script.js 
// Display the prompt dialogue while the value assigned to `secret` is not equal to "sesame"


do {
  let secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while (secret != "sesame");


// This should run after the loop is done executing
do {
alert("You know the secret password. Welcome!");
} while (secret === "sesame");

Your ( while code ) just need an extra ( = ). The alert code doesn't need the do function because it'll run after your ( do while code ). That should be it your good to go.
