every keypress for prompt-sync in javascript repeats the prompt

Question

Code:

 var prompt = require("prompt-sync")() function start() { var whatbox = prompt('What box would you like to open?(ALL LOWER CASE)') if (whatbox == "School") { box("School") } else if (whatbox == "Park") { box("Park") } else if (whatbox == "Tech" } { box("Tech") } else { console.log("That is NOT a box! Try again and check your spelling!") } } start()

Error: The prompt keeps on repeating every time I press a key.

Answer 1

 var prompt = require("prompt-sync")() function start() { console.log("What box would you like to open?(ALL LOWER CASE)") var whatbox = prompt("Your input >> ") if (whatbox == "School") { box("School") } else if (whatbox == "Park") { box("Park") } else if (whatbox == "Tech" } { box("Tech") } else { console.log("That is NOT a box! Try again and check your spelling!") } } start()

The prompt-sync has this problem where if your prompt text/qustion is too long it fails when refreshing it. To solve this problem, you can simply console.log question and then ask for input.
