Confused! Iterate Through an Array with a For Loop

in order to pass this task my code needs to:

  1. total should be declared and initialized to 0

  2. total should equal 20

  3. You should use a for loop to iterate through myArr

  4. Do not set total to 20 directly

QUESTION: My code below is the solution to the problem. In other words I passed, however, I still don’t understand how ‘total’ is equal to 20.

Your code so far


// Example
var ourArr = [ 9, 10, 11, 12];
var ourTotal = 0;

for (var i = 0; i < ourArr.length; i++) {
  ourTotal += ourArr[i];
}

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

// Only change code below this line

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

Wow thank you for the explanation. Thanks for the value you add here!!
