You shouldn't hard code the 6 for the while statement, use the count property instead. Also check what your while statement is doing or saying. In your case you have if the count is greater than 6 execute this code I have in the curly braces. Your code will run forever because your array will always have more than 6 items in the array each time the while statement is run.

while counter < numbers.count {

    sum += numbers[counter]
    counter += 1

}
