1,441 PointsI am stuck at this step. Do I need to make a new variable named newValue? How do I add this into the loop?
Do I need to make a second while loop or just add it to the first? What is newValue and do I need to declare it as a variable somewhere first?
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
repeat {
counter += 1
} while counter < 1
// Enter your code below

But you may want to revise how the loop works so it will repeat the correct number of times. Task 1 included this hint: "You can get that number by using the count property"
