There are several issues with your code for this challenge

  1. You have less than or equal to when the while loop just requires less than
  2. The task does not ask for a for loop or print statement
  3. You do not have counter incrementing in your while loop
  4. The task does not ask you to add the sum to counter
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0

// Enter your code below

while counter < numbers.count {

sum += numbers[counter]
counter += 1

}
