When I don't put the prompt in the do section:
The prompt() method should go INSIDE the do...while loop.
When I do:
You only need to call the prompt() method once, and only inside the loop. Hint: Declare the secret variable before the loop.
Argh! where is the loop??? Isn't do part of the loop? I don't understand the parameters.
var secret=prompt("What is the secret password?");
do {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
if (secret == "sesame") {
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
}
} while ( secret !== "sesame" ) {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
}

Courses Plus Student 9,858 Pointshint: you only need to declare the secret variable. Only inside the loop do you need to ask the question. You won't need the if statement as the "while secret !== "sesame")" is doing the assessment for you. Once "sesame" is achieved then the program is free to go to the next statement which is the confirmation.
Hope that helps.
