Do while loop task description has an error.

Hi All,

I just noticed that the all task descriptions in the "Do While" loop section say to :

"Write a while loop to build a string of ..." I Assume it was supposed to mean write a do while loop.

It could also be that they consider a "do...while" loop to be a type of "while" loop. In several ways, they are more similar to each other than either one is to a "for" loop.

To facilitate accurate analysis (and the best answers), always include a link the course page you are working with.

Hi Steven.

The course was; Practice loops in JavaScript. https://teamtreehouse.com/library/practice-javascript-loops It's not a big deal, just wanted to point it out so others would not get confused with the wording.

Thanks for the reply.

D.

I see now, you're referring to the comments written into the workspace practice files.

You might want to report this to Support, they may not be able to change the video, but they may be able to fix the actual files.
