Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 11,499 PointsJust wondering if i am doing too much for this question?
Asking to re-write the code for a do while loop thinking I am adding too much or not properly describing it
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
var correctGuess = false;
/* while ( secret !== "sesame" ) {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
}
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome."); */
do {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
if ( secret !== "sesame") {
correctGuess = true;
}
} while . ( ! correctGuess);
document.write ("You know the secret password. Welcome. ");

Also, there's no dot between the "while" and the parentheses in the loop syntax.
