do while loop

I was able to solve this easy enough before, I'm reviewing now and I have no clue what i did before.

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

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


document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hi Kevin,

In this case don't initialize the var secret, rather define it. Once you do it will run just fine.

Take care and happy coding!

I don't understand this answer. Could you explain it in more detail?
