I feel stupid and lost in simple code

var secret;

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

script.js 
var secret;


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

Hi Nayoon, majority of your code is good. You just forgot to store the 'prompt' method in the 'secret' variable.

secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
