Not sure how to construct this do...while loop.

So I'm having trouble with this challenge and that's basically all. You can see I have to contruct a do while loop, but I'm not sure how to do it with the pre-made code. Does anyone have a helpful hint? Thanks!

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.");

I was going to give you a hint, but someone beat me with a spoiler. :disappointed:

Just wondering .. would you have preferred just a hint?

Steven Parker - I would say hints are generally preferred over solutions without explanations.

Okay, but is a hint better than a spoiler with an explanation?
