Issue with the Iterate with JavaScript While Loops page

JavaScript

Hiya,

So when I am trying to complete this problem on freecodecamp, when I have what I beleive to be the correct answer, it seems to be brekaing chrome! or something the website crashes anyway…

I must have the code wrong… can someone be kind enough to check this out for me and see if it is only my end that is playing up?

Mind posting your code on here? That link just takes me to the exercise.

3 
var myArray = [];

var i = 5;
while (i > 0) {
myArray.push(i);
i--;
}

oh yeah cool, thanks for pointing that out…

Still breaks the webpage thou on my end!

Thanks! So the code doesn’t seems to be valid as it doesn’t’ cause any infinite loops, however you are close to the correct answer. Try console logging what myArray gives you, and you should see where the mistake is coming from, I made one code change and got it to pass from your code.

Ok, so I’m close which is good…

But it looks like I’m having other issues with website itself as now when I type at all it crashes…
I was happening on my computer at work yesterday also… so I will run it in VS and play with it in there for a bit…

var myArray = [];

var i = 0;
while(i < 6) {
    myArray.unshift(i);
    i++;
}

SUCCESS!

I am a industrial sparky, we have counters n such in our PLC programs… I was just looking with those eyes, not prgrammer eyes hahaha

I think the i-- stuff is screwing with chrome, for some reason??? i dunno but whenever I tried that way, the webpage shit itself.
