Python Web Development Techdegree Student 11,501 PointsNow the question is asking you to use a do while loop for this challenge. In essence all the challenge wants us to do is to supply the prompt question UNTIL the answer provided in the prompt is equal to sesame.
So basically the "do" part of the loop will just need to ask the question UNTIL the "while" part of the loop becomes false. This type of loop is better for this challenge than a while loop because with a "do while" loop your prompt will at least be asked once.
var secret;
do {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while ( secret !== "sesame" )
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
