I need help with this code challenge

In this challenge, you will create a while loop that prints to the document 26 times. We've added a variable named count, use it to track the number of times the loop runs. Don't forget to use the document.write() method inside the loop.

var count = 0; while ( count = 0 ) { var randNum = randomNumber(6); document.write(randNum + ' '); count += 1; }

var count = 0;
while ( count < 26 ) {
var randNum = count;
document.write(randNum + ' ');
count += 1; }

Theres no need for the extra variable.

var count = 0;
while ( count < 26 ) {
  document.write(count + ' ');
  count += 1; 
}

A couple things need some attention in your solutions. First the condition in your while loop will only run 1 time because count will only be zero the first time around. To check equality in your condition you need two equal signs. (A single "=" is the assignment operator) There is no need for a random number the challenge; you will need to document.write the value of count

This has been already answered - but I would like to point out one thing that might be helpful in the future. Make sure that your white space is used - it doesn't do anything for the JS - but it can help you spot errors in your own code and others code as well...just a thought.
