Why can't I run secret inside of the while loop? Why do I have to repeat myself inside and outside the loop: secret = prompt("What is the secret password?")

7,229 PointsI assume you were simply on the while loop exercise, and that's how you'd run it inside the while loop since the loop doesn't run until you've met a value. When you move onto the do...while loop, then you'll get to a situation like the one you want more, a loop that runs at least once, so you can put the first question inside of the loop.
