In this task, we have an array of numbers and we want to compute the sum of its values.
We have a variable ,sum, that will store the value of the sum of numbers from the array.
We also have a variable ,counter, which we will use to track the number of iterations of the while loop.
Step 1: Create a while loop. The while loop should continue as long as the value of counter is less than the number of items in the array. (Hint: You can get that number by using the count property)
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
// Enter your code below
while counter <numbers.count{
sum = sum + numbers[counter]
counter++ }

Courses Plus Student 11,316 PointsYeah, ++ was removed (deprecated) in Swift 3, so += 1 is your answer.
The other issue is that you need a space between < and numbers.count. (And mine as well throw a space after numbers.count)... I think it's trying to evaluate <numbers.count (with no space).
Hope that helps.

counter+=1

I know in Java counter++ works.
