I'm stuck here. Any hints?

Not sure how to get the prompt to run again and again until it get's the answer "sesame". What am I missing?

Thanks- Michele

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

while ( secret !== "sesame" ) {

}

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

What happens if you ask for the password inside the while loop?

Oh yes! I just put

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

In the while loop and it worked ! It was easier than I thought. :)

You need to move the prompt into the while loop. view below

var secret;

while ( secret !== "sesame" ) {
 secret  = prompt("What is the secret password?")
}

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Yes thank you! This worked!!
