:point_right: It looks like you've created an infinite loop.

Inside your loop, you set counter to zero right before you compare it with the input. You probably should initialize the counter outside the loop.

Also, while your method can work, it might be clearer to put the counter test in the while expression. Then you won't need special code inside the loop to escape from it.

And a "continue" is never needed when it's the last thing in a loop.
