Need Help with Coding Challenge for this Video

I feel like I need to add more code than what it's asking but I'm not sure what to add and how much. I keep wanting to add multiple variables to fill out the code but not sure how far to take it and where to stop. Any advice helps! Thank you.

Hey Mandy,

I'm assuming you're looking for help with the challenge that follows the video you linked, which asks:

If so, the code it's looking for is below:

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

while (secret !== 'sesame') {

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

}

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

It's a little convoluted, but Dave has structured it this way to make a point in a later video that should become apparent once you get to that point.

If it was actually the challenge before the linked video, then the code it's looking for is:

var count = 0;

while (count < 26) {

  document.write(count);
  count++;

}

Good luck with the course!
