Bonus Question: Uncaught TypeError: Assignment to constant variable.

When I use the exact code as the solution video for the bonus questions in whileLoops.js, it prints a string of numbers up to 8, but not 8.

When I run the code in the console to test, I noticed that it's throwing the following error: Uncaught TypeError: Assignment to constant variable. It doesn't seem to like this line of code ---> text += i + ' ';

// 5. BONUS CHALLENGE: Write a while loop that builds a string of random integers // between 0 and 9. Stop building the string when the number 8 comes up. // Be sure that 8 does print as the last character. The resulting string // will be a random length. print('5th Loop:'); text = '';

// Write 5th loop here: i = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10); while (i !== 8 ) { text += i + ' '; i = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10); } text += i;

You are missing a line in your snapshot. Right before the print statement is:

text += i;

Then text will include 8.

I didn't receive the error.
