JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Simplify Repetitive Tasks with Loops Create a `do...while` loop

I'm trying to complete the challenge for the Do While loop tutorial and just can't figure out the correct syntax.

JavaScript has me pretty baffled overall and I'm getting frustrated. I know there is a logic to this but I can't seem to understand the syntax.

script.js 
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
while ( secret !== "sesame" ) {
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");    
}
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
