    Troubleshooting help

    in JavaScript

    if (one = null)
    That's your problem.

     

    So how do I make it so it gives the console warning and still loop?

     

    If I do this

    do{
             var one = prompt ("Please enter a string.");{
              if (one = null) { console.warn("You need to enter something");}
                 
    
                 }
                     
             }while (one = null);

    it still continues to the start menu even if nothing is entered.

    Updated version. Thanks for the help earlier. I ended up falling back to an earlier version because I realized a for/while loop wasn't very useful for this program. Here is my current problem. I need to have the program loop through each program until the user enters something, but not sure what to put there. I put a comment in the problem area.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Project 1 – Michael Fiorello</title>
    <script>
    do{
    var input = prompt ("Please enter 1, 2, 3, or exit.");{
    if (input == "1")
         do{
             var one = prompt ("Please enter a string.");{
              if (one = null) { console.warn("You need to enter something");}
                 
    
                 }
                     
             }while (one != "")//I need this to be if the user enters nothing it will keep asking, right now it causes an infinite loop. What do I put here?
    else if (input == "2")
        {
        alert ("COOL!");
        }
    else if (input == "3")
        {
        alert ("AWESOME!"); 
        }
    else if (input == "exit")
        {
       alert ("Okay");
        }
    else 
        {
        alert ("Nope");
        console.warn("You need to enter something");
        }
        }
        }while(input != "exit");
</script>

    The comment basically has my issue, but I'm basically trying to fix my second var prompt so it will actually run and I can't figure it out. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

     

    Line comment: var one above this comment isn't working, how do I fix it? I also need it to continue to the next else if statement once something is entered. I'm thinking of making it so that if it changes var input to 2 once it's entered then 3, will that work?

    <!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>Project 1 – Michael Fiorello</title>
            <script>
            do{
        var input = prompt ("Please enter 1, 2, 3, or exit.");{
            if (input == "1")
                 {for
                    var one = prompt ("Please enter a string");
                  //var one above this comment isn't working, how do I fix it? I also need it to continue to the next else if statement once something is entered. I'm thinking of making it so that if it changes var input to 2 once it's entered then 3, will that work?
                    if (one != null)
                    else console.warn("You need to enter something")
                 }in(one !="")
                 //need the above "in" to cause it to loop this section until something is entered for var one
            else if (input == "2")
                {
                alert ("COOL!")
                }
            else if (input == "3")
                {
                alert ("AWESOME!")  
                }
            else if (input.toLowerCase() == "exit")
                {
                alert ("Okay") 
                }
            else 
                {
                alert ("Nope")
                console.warn("You need to enter something");
                }
                }
                }while(input != "exit");
