Need help with do-while loop exercise

Here's my code, guessing it's a syntax error but I can't find a problem

var = secret;

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

script.js 
var = secret;

do { secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while (secret !== "sesame");
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">

</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>

Your answer is correct with the exception of the (=) equals sign on your var secret.

var secret;

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

I hope this helps
