21,457 PointsI think the idea there is not to repeat yourself. You're calling prompt twice. You can overcome this by declaring the variable that will be defined in the loop later.
Also, make sure you terminate your statements in JS with semicolons.
var secret;
do { secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while ( secret !== "sesame" );
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

4,139 Pointsthe loop is supposed to prompt("What is the secret password?") until the user types "sesame". I thought my code was right, but its not accepting it.
