Treehouse TeacherYou're not ever doing anything with the sum variable as it requests. What it wants you to do is start the while loop and run through the numbers array until the end. So when it starts sum is 0. The first number in the array is 2. So now we want the sum to be sum + 2. Then the next time the next number is 8. So then we want our sum to be what it was after the last time (which is 2) plus 8. Now our sum should be 10... etc... When it's all said and done our sum variable should hold the sum of all numbers in that array. Take a look at how I did it:
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++
}
