iOS Development with Swift Techdegree Student 16,023 PointsHey there... the do/while loop should replace the while loop. What you've done is move the ending message (that should appear once the loop is finished) inside the loop for it to loop over and over again. Basically, in plain language, here's what should happen:
declare the secret variable
do this: prompt user: "Do you know the secret password?" until the correct password ("sesame") is entered
Write "You know the secret password. Welcome."
Does that help? (I could write out the code, but I find it best if you can figure out the code yourself. But if you want me to write out the code, let me know.) :)
