Why am I getting an error message that says my code is taking too long to run?

See above please

while_loops.swift 
let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

var index = 0

while index < numbers.count {
  println(numbers[index])

}

This is because you are not incriminating the index, as a result the index will always be less then the length of the array and the loop will never stop running. Add index++ Into your loop and it should work fine.
