This is the code we used in the last code challenge. After learning about do...while loops, rewrite the code

This is my answer below var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); do{ document.write(prompt + "You the secrete password. Welcome."); secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
​ }whilewhile ( secret !== "sesame" );

script.js 
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
do{
  document.write(prompt + "You the secrete password. Welcome.");
 secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");  

}whilewhile ( secret !== "sesame" );

Hi Virginia —

Try this:

var secret;

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

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

This declares secret variable outside of and before loop. Also be careful of indentation consistency and to only write while once. Way to go—keep at it!

What goes wrong?

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