How do you change the coding in to do while loop?

what is wrong with my code? I do not see what went wrong here.

script.js
var secret; 

do {
  var secret = prompt('what is the secret password');
} while (secret !== "sesame") 

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

The only issue is that you use the var keyword when referencing secret within the loop. The var keyword is used to create a variable, since secret is already created outside the loop you don't need to create it again within the loop.

If you don't use var within the loop, like this:

var secret; 

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

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Then your code will pass the challenge.

Nevermind the other guy got it
