Iterate Through an Array with a For Loop: "total should equal 20"?

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

So I was able to complete this challenge no problem but, I just had a question about "total should equal 20", where do we get 20 from?

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

If you sum all the numbers in myArr you will get 20, that’s where you get it from. When you use the for loop to iterate thru this array you are just summing all the array values into a variable as you can see in the example.
