Hi Ndhokoyo Aaron !

There are 2 problems in your code:

First of all template literals are enclosed by backticks (``), so your code should look like this:

let count = 0;
while ( count < 26 ) { 
  console.log(`The current value is ${count}`);
  counter += 1;
 }

The second problem is that you defined your variable under the name 'count' and not 'counter', so you should use 'count' when you increment it inside the while loop.

Like this:

let count = 0;
while ( count < 26 ) { 
  console.log(`The current value is ${count}`);
  count += 1;
 }

I wish you the best, Gergő
