I keep getting "Bummer! Your code took to long to run." Am i doing something wrong or is it Treehouse?

I am in the new course Javascript Loops, Arrays and Objects in "Simplify repetitive tasks with loops" on the second challenge. The first challenge went through with not issues but I keep getting this error on the second one. I've been using Treehouse for several months now and have never encountered this error before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Brenna

var count = 0;

while(count<26){
  document.write (count);
  count=+1;
}

Yeah, your syntax is infinite loop.

var count = 0;

while(count < 26){
  document.write (count);
  // should be
  count += 1;
}

No problem, Brenda. You could also type it this way too.

var count = 0;

while(count < 26){
  document.write (count);
  // should be
  count = count + 1;
}
