I understand the concept but I dont understand what do they want me to print in the Do loop, it is not stated what they want. can someone explain to me what do they want me to print out in the do statement.
Thank you very much
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
do {prompt ( "What is the secret password?");
}
while ( secret !== "sesame" ) {
prompt( " Please type in the correct password!" );
}
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

var secret;
do {
// do something here....
} while ( your condition )
Your actually close, just keep in mind that the while part of a do...while loop is only the condition and does not encapsulate any code. Furthermore you only need to declare the secret variable outside the loop.

Courses Plus Student 1,028 PointsSorry Stephan Olsen , i still don't get you.
I understand that in the do statement it wants us to print out the prompt dialogue once and in the while condition it does not want any prompt dialogue.
Yet, when I do that, it still doesn't go through.
Thanks.

6,650 PointsWhat I mean is that it should look like this. After your while statement with your condition, you're opening a set of curly braces, which is not part of the syntax. The do...while loop ends after the condition.
var secret;
do {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while ( secret !== "sesame" )
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
