Absolutely nothing is working for me on the second half of this challenge. Please help!

I've looked at previous asked questions about the same problem and tried everything, yet it still is not working.

loops.swift 
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0

while counter < numbers.count {
    counter += 1
}

while counter < numbers.count {
    sum += numbers[counter]
    counter += 1
}

The second while loop in your solution is correct, but it doesn't actually run due to your first loop. If you remove the first loop and keep the second like this:

let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0

while counter < numbers.count {
    sum += numbers[counter]
    counter += 1
}

Then your code will pass.
