431 PointsI am deeply sorry for asking again and skip me if you have seen my help messages before but how do you retrieve the Ints
I don't understand how to retrieve the value
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
// Enter your code below
while counter < numbers.count {
counter += 1
}
while counter < numbers {
sum += numbers counter
counter += 1
}

To get the values in the array using the counter as the index, you can use bracket notation: numbers[counter]. You also need to put this above the incrementing of the counter otherwise the index will be one higher than you want it to be:
while counter < numbers.count {
sum += numbers[counter]
counter += 1
}
Hope this helps - let me know if you have any questions ???
