12,193 PointsYou're almost there! First, you define the variable 'secret' (which is input from a user via a prompt).
Then we need a while loop that'll run so long as 'secret' (or what the user enters into the prompt) is NOT equal to "sesame" (so for this, we use !== ). In the while() statement, you don't need to include 'pompt', you only need the variable that's storing the information from the prompt - in this case, that variable is 'secret.'
Then, within that loop, we place code will keep running until the user enters "sesame" into the prompt; this code will prompt the user to enter something again, update the 'secret' variable, and check whether or not what the user enters is equal to "sesame".
When they do enter sesame, the loop will end, and then our document will print out the respective text.
Have a look:
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
while (secret !== "sesame"){
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
}
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
