You're partway there, here's a few hints:

  • the loop block should be enclosed with braces :point_right: {} :point_left:, not parentheses :point_right: () :point_left:
  • the block will only be between do and while, there will no longer be a block after while
  • you'll still need to declare secret before the loop, you just won't assign it there
