var userInput = false;

function promptUser(){
    return prompt("Enter Value");
}

while(!userInput){
    var value = promptUser().toLowerCase();

    if(value.indexOf("yes") != -1){
        userInput = true;
        console.log("Yes ! Call funtion to proceed furthur.");
    }else if(value.indexOf("no") != -1){
        userInput = true;
        console.log("No ! Exiting program.");
    }
}

It will keep on asking for values until either a Yes or No is provided as input anywhere in the string.

I'm trying a modified version of this but it doesn't seem to be working the way I need it to. I have a function that tells if the number is even or odd already. Once you hit enter to continue a new box will pop up asking if you want to test a new number or stop the program. if you answer 'yes' than the program will call the function oddEven() that I created in the beginning of my code. once t=you go through that function again the box should pop up again asking the same question of yes or no. The yes should keep loping the function and the no ends the program that's where I am stuck.
