Who is the form ?

In this challegue say this.

The code in app.js just opens a prompt, asks for a password, and writes to the document. Something is missing. Add a while loop, so that a prompt keeps appearing until the user types "sesame" into the prompt.

This is my answer var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); var password = 'sesame';

while (secret !== password) { prompt("What is the secret password?") + password; secret += 0; } document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

but the course say this.

I don't see the prompt() command inside the loop. Use the prompt() command to assign a new value to the secret variable.

You need to assign a new value to the secret variable inside the loop.

what is the problem in my code.

app.js 
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

its normal ; cause inside the loop while you have to re-ask the user for an other password. and he wont get passed that till he got the right answer

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.");
