Are you referring to the question that includes this code:

var x = 0;
do {
  console.log('I love JavaScript');
  x += 1; 
} while ( x <= _ )

If so then it's not asking you to enter the number 10, it's asking you to enter a number that would make the loop run 10 times. If the condition is x <= 10 then the loop would actually run 11 times, because the loop starts with x at 0, not at 1.

As such you the condition needs to be x <= 9 in order to loop 10 times.
