so when I try doing this code challenge in Collections and Control, I get this error message: swift_lint.swift:10:16: error: use of unresolved identifier 'index' sum += numbers[index]
When I try the exact same in my xcode playground it works perfectly and gives me the right sum! the sum of the numbers in the array is 43 and that what I get with the code inside xcode! thx in forhand
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[index]
counter++
}

The error is in the "index" that you are using to access the numbers in the array. You should replace "index" with the "counter". The counter will start with 0 (the first item in the array), and then your while loop increments it by 1 each time the loop runs.
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[index]
counter++
}
