How would I format this next portion of the challenge in order to compute the sum?

I understand that I am trying to compute the sum of all the numbers in the array, however I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how I should format this. How would I format the newValue?

loops.swift 
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0

// Enter your code below

while counter < numbers.count {
    print(numbers[counter])
    counter += 1
}

while counter < numbers.count {
    sum = sum + numbers[counter]
    counter += 1
}

Actually, I just figured it out! By using a For in Loop, which looks like this:

for newValue in numbers { sum += newValue print(sum) }

Thank you very much for at least looking at this, and I hope that this is something that can help anyone else who struggled with this challenge like I did.
