need help guys

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

you need to add the action you want for do

I am having a TOUGH time grasping the do while...like completely lost...

Alternative Working Answer

var secret 
var correctPass = false;

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

    if ( secret === "sesame" ) { 
        document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome."); 
        correctPass = true; 
        } 

    } while (correctPass = false)

try not to think to much about it. Loops are simple the logic that allows them to run can some times be cumbersome. As long as there conditions are true they will run but once there conditions are false they stop. "Do While" just gets a head start with one iteration of the loop before checking if the condition is true or not.

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

while ( secret !== "sesame" ){ document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome."); }

In case the answers above are obsolete. This code will work.

var secret;

do {

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

} while ( secret !=="sesame" ) {

}

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

That was an easy question..

just make sure you declared the variable on the top without any value and giving that value in do while statment...;

Okay I will explain what I understand about the loop. If I am wrong someone please correct me. This kind of loop will run endlessly if not stopped. Also if it is not stopped this will cause severe problems in the browser. The "do" part of the loop seems to be the process that you want to run(i.e. if you want to prompt your user for information). The "while" part of the loop seems to be where you write a rule that causes the loop to stop running once the task that you have set out to accomplish has been accomplished. In this case once the correct password has been entered this will stop the loop from running.

Thank you so much. I was really close.

I think it would be best if someone would explain what exactly each kind of loop is used for and why its used that way. Ive done a brief search on google and couldn't find anything substantial that explains.

This is going to cost me thousands of dollars in psychiatric therapy. I HAVE TRIED everything. There si some sort of magic answer and I am no where near close.

Thanks for the info @rydavim!

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

after ours i've got the answer if it help var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); do{ if ( secret !== "sesame" ) secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); }while( secret !== "sesame" ){ } document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Ah, this challenge gave me so much trouble and it's so simple. Having a difficult time grasping this. Ergh.

Remember, the do.........while loop will execute the code in the "do{...}" section while the condition stated in the "while()" part remains true.

in this case a pop up should appear until you have entered the correct password.

this is my solution,

var secret;

do { secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); }**the code will perform the prompt command********

while ( secret !== "sesame" ) *****while the condition is met, in this case the condition is that the password provided is not equal to "sesame". therefore any other password you enter that is not "sesame" will trigger the "do" loop to run over and over.***********************

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

I got my solution to work perfectly in my Chrome console but received an error from the quiz. When I fiddled my coding it would only provide the prompt and went into a loop where it would accept the "sesame" input and keep offering up the same prompt and when I fiddled with my code further it would keep giving me an error message in the Chrome console and would not run at all.

var secret;

do { secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); }

while ( secret !== "sesame" ){ document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome."); } The do statement runs first and if the prompt message sesame was typed at the first attempt, You know the secret password. Welcome. is printed out else the whole statement runs again from the do part, until sesame is typed in. The code doesn't run from the while statement after after the first do is ran. In other words do this while secret is not equal to sesame repeat do until secret is sesame then stop and print You know the secret password. Welcome.
