Tell us what’s happening:

I am not sure why this is not printing. In my mind in every loop string should add to result. But it is only adding only one time.? Where is

Your code so far

function repeatStringNumTimes(str, num) {
  // repeat after me
  var result = "";
  var count = 0;
  while(count < num){
    result += str;
    count++;
  }
  return str;
}

repeatStringNumTimes("abc", 5);
