Double checked my work and still getting message its not right... just trying to add sum of array numbers, and use counter as index.. thanks in advance for any help!
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
while counter < numbers.count {
counter += 1
sum = sum + numbers[counter]
}

28,407 PointsIt's a common issue. You are incrementing the counter
before you are adding the first index of numbers
to sum
. This means you're skipping over the first value.
let numbers = [2,8,1,16,4,3,9]
var sum = 0
var counter = 0
while counter < numbers.count {
sum += numbers[counter]
counter += 1
}
