1,582 PointsWhile loops code challenge question
I feel horrible for constantly having to ask these questions, but right when I feel I understand what it asks me to do, I end up being wrong! My code below is not working for some reason. I tried a couple other variants on the while loop that also did not work.
I don't want the answer given to me, but I would like a hint. That's one thing I think Treehouse could benefit from adding - little hints for those of us who can't seem to grasp the problems right off the bat.
Thanks, anyone!
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++
}

Hint #1: Think about what numbers.count returns as a value.
Hint #2: Remember that the condition for a while loop must evaluate true for the loop to continue to execute.
Hope that nudges you in the right direction.
