Semicolon on while statement causes challenge failure

Challenge Name

https://www.freecodecamp.com/challenges/smallest-common-multiple

Issue Description

Using the sample solution in the wiki article for this algorithm, for a do…while loop, if you include the required semicolon after the while, you get “SyntaxError: Unexpected token ;”. If you take the semicolon out, you get a stop sign on the line saying that the semicolon is missed, but the challenge passes.

@flipsyde606: If this is a bug in the loop-protect library then we can log a issue on their repo. But I am not sure that its very well maintained. The published fork on npm is a fork of the original.

Anyways: Option 1 and Option 2 are a strict NO GO.

Option 3 is a work around, but we still would need to detect this for do…while loops. Of course we can tell the campers to use this in all algorithm challenges but then that beats the purpose of having it in the first place.
