Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 4,468 Pointsdocument.write() method not called?
I'm working on this, and it keeps saying that 'document.write() method was not called. However, the document.write() method is present within the while loops code block. Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks, Anna
var count = 0;
while ( count > 26) {
count += 1;
document.write(count);
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing well, but you've mixed up greater than and less than. In this case, the Bummer! message is correct, the document.write() method is never called. You start count at 0, and then you say to run the loop while count is greater than 26. Count will never be greater than 26 unless you reset it. What you meant to say was while count is less than 26.
If I simply change your greater than > to a less than <, your code passes with flying colors!
