10,101 PointsHi,
The conditions for the while loop in your code are wrong.
The while loop should run until you have looped through all of the numbers in the array. To do that it should look like this.
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
var newValue = numbers
// Enter your code below
while counter < numbers.count { // while the counter is less than the number of items in the array run the loop
counter++ // increment the counter
}
In part 2, they are asking you to compute the sum. For that, just keep adding the numbers from the array like this.
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
var newValue = numbers
// Enter your code below
while counter < numbers.count {
sum = sum + numbers[counter] // access number in array by using the counter
counter++
}
I hope that helps,
Mike
