Now that we have the while loop set up, it's time to compute the sum! Using the value of counter as an index value, retrieve each value from the array and add it to the value of sum.
For example: sum = sum + newValue. Or you could use the compound addition operator sum += newValue where newValue is the value retrieved from the array.
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
var newValue = 60
// Enter your code below
while counter < numbers.count { //if the value of counter is less than the count of numbers array
counter += 1 // then add one to counter, and repeat loop.
sum += newValue
}

5,634 PointsNot accepting the answer. I get a error message: Bummer! Make sure you're retrieving values from the array inside the while loop to compute the sum!
with the code: for number in numbers {
while counter < numbers.count {
sum += number
counter += 1
} }

6,325 PointsVery strange when i tried this on the code challenge it worked.
I just checked again now it worked. Check your spelling

5,634 PointsI retyped it and it did not work, then I copied and pasted your code and still doesn't work for me
