javascript'''var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10]; var i = 0; while (i<7){console.log(temperatures[i]) i += 1; }'''
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
var i = 0;

Let me know if this helps here

6,429 Points?? Its outputting stuff that isn't even in the array, im confused

When I run the code I see that. All the white numbers were logged from the while loop. The only one missing is 10
Nick Evershed
6,429 PointsYea I see that, isn't 20 also missing, and what is with all those other random numbers?
Adam N
70,280 PointsThere is no number 20 in the array.
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
I'd ignore the number 7 that's being returned at the end. repl.it is returning the value of i at the end of the script for whatever reason.

6,429 PointsAHAHA omg im so blind, my brain just thought there was a pattern, I didn't actually look
Nick Evershed
6,429 PointsThanks man, I fixed it, although there was a weird error when I just entered one number below for the loop to run, it was something like a typeError it confused me
Adam N
70,280 PointsYeah that error didnt make sense to me.

6,429 PointsOoo, nice resource, but I already used a console to check what it was outputting, im really confused why it is outputting these things, i've tried to visualise the logic, but it just makes no sense

70,280 PointsThe last element in the array isn't being output because your while loop stops too soon.
