To make it work correctly, you need a comparison using "counter" that will be true until the loop body has run 10 times.

1,681 PointsThank you for responding. So what would the counter comparison be?

231,110 PointsA typical expression would be "
counter <
some_value" — I'll leave it up to you to figure out what "some_value" should be to make the loop run 10 times.
