111 PointsI don't understand how to use sum.
I think I'm using sum correctly
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
// Enter your code below
while counter <= numbers.count {
print("hi")
counter += 1
}
while sum < numbers.count {
print(numbers[sum])
sum += 1
}

counter += 1

Courses Plus Student 14,604 PointsIts asking in the instructions only for one loop and you want to just use less than < not <= because the counter will go over. the instructions also say to use counter as the index not sum. and after you get the number from the index ad it to the sum.
