13,515 PointsYou need to use the count property on the numbers array to get the number of items, in this case Int numbers, the array contains.
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
while counter < numbers.count {
sum = sum + numbers[counter]
counter += 1
}

485 PointsThis is the challenge: 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.
