5,348 PointsI am having some trouble understanding how a do while would appear, versus its while counter part.
Given the code and comments attached below, How would I write the while loop, in the form of a "Do While" loop.
Seth
///If the while version is written as so.
var secret;
while (secret !== 'sesame') {
secret = prompt("Enter Authentication.")
}
document.write("Authentication Confirmed.");
//How would you write this in the form of a "do while" loop.

var secret;
do {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
}while(secret !== "sesame")
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
