A Better way to explain break in a for loop in the javascript-/loops/working-with-for-loops/exit-a-loop exercise
add the alert to loop
const secretWord = 'tomato'; let message = 'Access denied :(';
for ( let i = 5; i >= 1; i-- ) {
let guess = prompt(Enter the secret word. You have ${i} tries.);
if ( guess === secretWord ) {
message = 'Welcome to the secret loop world!';
alert(message);
}
}
It helps to see the code sequence better.
Then add the break;
And/Or explain why the if message runs after the loop is finished when there is no break and alert is outside the for loop.
