They keep on giving me an error saying that i is an invalid variable. Please help.

let secret = ''; do{ let secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); i++; } while(password !== 'sasame')

script.js 
// Display the prompt dialogue while the value assigned to `secret` is not equal to "sesame"
let secret = '';
do{
  let secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
  i++;
} while(password !== 'sasame')
// This should run after the loop is done executing
alert("You know the secret password. Welcome!");

Good Morning Serena,

Let i = 0; should solve your problem. You need to declare all your variables or you will get an error saying your variable is an invalid variable.

Run you code on js.do or jslint and you will get more insight into your errors.

Thank you,

Mark
