Just wondering even after adding the if condition for this do while loop it still throws an error, can anyone help.

Question

script.js

var secret = "sesame";
var correctGuess = false;

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

You have added a lot of unnecessary code to solve challenge but it will pass with the following tips

Don't initialize secret with the password.
Update secret inside the loop by assigning it the value from the prompt
Do not try to convert secret to an integer. The value from prompt and what you are comparing it to are both strings
You don't need to write anything inside the loop
Since you created the correctGuess variable your condition to run could be while correctGuess is false

So like I said you can do it that way and pass the challenge but after this see if you can do it without the if statement and correctGuess variable
