Any feedback on why my code is failing would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure it's a small issue. Thx. in advance.
var secret = "empty"
do }
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while ( secret !== "sesame" );
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

var secret = "empty"; do **}** secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); } while ( secret !== "sesame" ); document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
