Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,783 PointsWhat is the answer to this question ?!!
I am adding 1 < = 10 in the parenthesis of my while loop and it is not being accepted :( No hint, and related questions are ALL over the fourms, seriously people?!
var counter = 1;
while ( ) {
document.write("<p>Now in loop #" + counter + "</p>");
counter += 1;
}

You probably want to compare "counter" with some value.
I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit code spoiler.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,783 PointsI know lol, thank you! I was very tired and I figured it out like 2 minutes later XD

while (counter <= 10)
As every time you run through the loop counter will be incremented by one and the condition will be checked against counter. Setting the condition as you have at the moment will cause an infinite loop as 1 will always be less than 10 and is never incremented.
If I am mistaken, please let me know.
