'''int counter = 0;
while(cycle == true) { counter = counter + 1; } Console.WriteLine(counter); '''
Shouldnt it skip the loop because it hasnt a boolean before the loop that says true? Im a bit confused

Read again the question, it is said there that the value for cycle is true.
Liam Andersson
1,396 PointsYes, But they Never say that it is a boolean? I cant see it, to put ”cycle == True” in while you have to have a boolean right ?

Courses Plus Student 15,000 PointsThey did not write that line of code but they told you that cycle was set to true. https://imgur.com/yHJ8YiP

while(cycle == true) { Console.WriteLine("I'm cool."); }
Are you missing the "bool cycle = true"?
Liam Andersson
1,396 PointsNo I didnt miss the boolean, in that quiz question there wasnt a boolean. Idk why and Thats why I’m asking the community :)
Read my code above, Its on 1 line ( dont ask me why)

5,604 PointsHi there, you are correct in your assumption here that if you were actually writing code you would need to create a boolean variable named cycle for this code to run. I think that for the purposes of this quiz question they omit that from the code and tell you that it is true.

1,396 PointsAh thanks Michaelcodes.. I cant set your comment to best answer because it's an answer..
