let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
while counter < numbers.count {
print(numbers[counter])
sum += numbers[counter]
sum ++
}

Second, you should increment counter
by one, not sum
.
Try this:
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
while counter < numbers.count {
sum += numbers[counter]
counter++
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! While Alexander Davison is correct about the counter being incremented and about the printing, it's important to note that the method he uses with the ++
operator has been deprecated in Swift 3 and will cause a compiler error. Instead of the ++
This should be used:
counter += 1
Hope between both of us you can get this working!
