While loop not looping (Javascript)-CodePudding

Simple question here. I am slowly building a to do list program. Whilst you do not quit I would like to the program to keep looping. But it keeps asking 'What is the to do text' after it is inputted?

Whereas I would like it to loop back to the beginning 'What would you like to do' so I can add additional functions such as: list the to do's Delete a to do

Code below:

while (input.toLowerCase() !== 'quit') {

    const list = [];

    if (input === 'new') {
        let todo = prompt('What is the to do text')
        list.push(todo);
        
    }

    }

CodePudding user response：

you need to define input first and i would put the list outside the while loop because if you dont the list get overwritten each time.

let input = ''
const list = [];
while (input.toLowerCase() !== 'quit') {
    input = prompt('What do you want to do?')
    if (input === 'new') {
        let todo = prompt('What is the to do text')
        list.push(todo);
    }
}
