Challenge Task 1 of 1
The code in app.js just opens a prompt, asks for a password, and writes to the document. Something is missing. Add a while loop, so that a prompt keeps appearing until the user types "sesame" into the prompt. Important: The code you write in each task should be added to the code written in the previous task
what do they mean i don't get it
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Courses Plus Student 21,242 PointsHi, Andrew. The challenge here wants you to create a while loop that will make a prompt appear over and over until the user enters the password "sesame". The basic structure for a while loop is explained in the previous video, and looks like this:
while ( /* true condition */ ) {
/* do this code */
}
I'd suggest rewatching the previous video if you are still having problems. If you still can't pass it, let us know what you've tried or specifically where you are having problems and we'll try to help. :)

while ( secret !== "sezam" ) {
secret = promt("again and again");
}
