57,712 PointsHi Rico,
There's a couple of points here. First, your condition is the wrong way round. You're asking it to loop while
the value in counter
is greater than the length of the array. The start value of counter
is zero, so the loop will never run. Switch that test to seeing if counter
is less than the length of numbers
.
Next, inside the loop, you've incremented counter
; that's essential!! You've also accessed numbers
by using numbers[counter]
- that's correct too. But you don't want to print
it; you want to add it into sum
. So change your code to sum += numbers[counter]
and I think that'll pass the challenge.
I hope that helps,
Steve.
