I am trying to write a while loop in javascript. My console.log does not print the requested message

Question

 var ask = prompt('Are we there yet???'); while (ask != 'y') { if (ask[0] === 'y') { // For some unknown reason to me my solution will not print the message. console.log('Yea, we made it!!!'); } else { var ask = prompt('Are we there yet???'); }; }

Answer 1

Your code is setting a variable inside of the while loop to the output of the prompt which is why the loop can't access it.

To achieve your goal, you'll need something like this:

while (prompt('Are we there yet???') !== 'y') {}
console.log('Yea, we made it!!!');

Basically, the code goes in an infinite loop of asking the user to type y before continuing the code and in this case, logging the message to the console.
