I think that will cause an infinite loop. because 0 will always be less than 26. The code would just run endlessly until it crashes your browser.

You need to add a counter in the code block to keep track of the number of times the condition is true so that it will get to 25, then test false and end the loop. { ....(); count +=1; }
