Screw this I STILL CANT GET IT TO WORK

Hi Dawson,

The first part of the Code Challenge asks you to put together a while-loop. The loop needs to run for every item in the numbers array, which you can access using numbers.count. You'll also need to make sure that each time the loop runs, that counter variable increments by 1, so you don't accidentally write an infinite loop.

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

// Enter your code below
while counter < numbers.count {
counter++
}

What we're saying is, while the counter variable is less that the number of items in the numbers array (accessed using numbers.count), continue running the loop and increment that counter variable each time through.

The second part of the Code Challenge asks you to add every number in the numbers array together and store that in the sum variable. I took their suggestion and declared a new variable, newValue, that would use array index notation to access whatever item in the numbers array we were up to in our loop. It would then add that to the sum variable in the way you did it before, only you'll need to put it inside the loop so it does this each time.

I left the incrementation of counter until the end of the loop, because that should be the last thing it needs to do before running again over the next item in numbers.

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

// Enter your code below
while counter < numbers.count {
    let newValue = numbers[counter]
    sum += newValue
    counter++
}

That should pass. Good luck!
