Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
Cant seem to figure out why my code keeps giving me 0 instead of 20. Already watch a couple of videos and read a couple articles , not sure how to fix it.

  **Your code so far**

// Setup
const myArr = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

// Only change code below this line
var total = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < myArr.lenght; i++) {
total += myArr[i];
}
console.log(total);

Typo.

Note that you should not be using var

3

Even after changing the var for let it keep giving me this error:
" // running tests

total

should equal 20. // tests completed"

4

Did you fix the typo?

5

This is my current code:

const myArr = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

// Only change code below this line
let total = 0;

for (let i = 0; i < myArr.lenght; i++) {
total += myArr[i];
}

You still have this typo.

I’m sorry, I don’t if I just have been staring at the screen for too long but it worked “length” not “lenght” smh.

Thank you so much!

Typos happen. That’s one of my common typos
