I'm stuck at the "do...while" loop challenge.

Could someone tell me what is wrong with my code?

script.js 
var secret ;
var correctPass = false ;
var passWord = 1234 ;
do{
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
  if( parseInt(secret) === passWord ){
     correctPass = true ;
     }
}while( !correctPass )
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Try this:

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

Hey sakchai,

Your answer looks correct. I tried it in the console and it seems to be working as expected. Have you tried restarting the challenge or refreshing the browser? Make sure you're not changing the names of the original variables.

I have done to start but it still won't work. Anyway, I try as the suggestion above from Piotr Manczak. It works now, thanks for your kindly attention.
