11,483 PointsProblem with a "do" loop.
Hi, I have to do a "do" loop that asks for a password and when the user type the correct answer, write a message in the document.
I have a problem that says that I need to call the "prompt" function just once inside the loop (just what I did, I think).
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
var answer = false;
do {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
if (secret === "sesame") {
answer = true;
}
} while (! answer)
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

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

Everything you need can go inside the do while loop.
do { "your code here" } while ( "your code here" ) document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
