I don't know why but it still says i got a wrong answer... the condition is right... the statement allows the addition between sum and numbers that will increase by one as counter will be added by one, too.
What is wrong with my code? Please teach me what has been done wrong...
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++
}
while counter < numbers.count{
sum = sum + numbers[counter]
counter++
}

your logic works great. The only mistake you made is printing the number instead of adding it to sum.
Change your code to the following lines and it should work:
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
// Enter your code below
while counter < numbers.count {
sum += numbers[counter]
counter++
}

3,761 PointsThanks Moritz. I did it the way you showed, too. But it didn't work... I don't understand why... I have been stuck in this question for 3 days... I can't go ahead...
