A Closer Look at Loop Conditions

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.

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

I don't think you need the full answer so I'm giving you a hint instead. While guess is not equal to to sesame run this loop. Can you point out where you set a value to guess? :) At this point, guess has never been declared or initialized in your program and is not even really needed.

I found out where to set a value to guess and figured out the rest of the challenge.

Thank you
