I'm simply stuck on this challenge and am not sure why I'm getting a SyntaxError What's the correct answer?

You're so close! Here are a few things that I noticed:

1) Remember that when using a do...while loop, it can only have one condition, and it needs to be placed after the 'while' part of the loop. The syntax looks like this:

do
   statement (code to run)
while (condition);

2) Note that after the condition, there are no more code statements as part of the do...while loop, so it should end with a semicolon. Any code statements written in your file that are below the do...while loop will only run after the condition of the loop has been met, so you can list the document.write() method as a separate code statement below the loop.

3) Also, you only need to call the prompt() method once, and it should be located inside the loop. So you should declare the secret variable before the loop, but not assign it a value until inside the loop.

So to bring it all together it should look something like this:

var secret;

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

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

More on do...while loops at the MDN site here.

I remember being confused by these same things not too long ago, and it can feel like there are so many little things to learn about each individual piece of JavaScript, but after you use them a few times, they stick and it gets much easier.

Hope that's helpful! Keep on coding!
