1,251 PointsI am getting a parse error when running below: where is my syntax off?
I've ran this in treehouse work space and it works fine. It doesn't seem to work under this challenge. Please help!
let secret;
let password = "sesame";
do {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while (secret!= password);
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
