Using the value of counter as an index value, retrieve each value from the array and add it to the value of sum.

I'm stuck plz help

loops.swift 
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 += 1

}




sum += newValue

On the last line:

sum += newValue

You are adding a variable newValue, which you never declared, to sum. What is the reason for this?
