Challenge: Iterate with JavaScript While Loops

Link to the challenge:

2

Your code is saying while i is less than zero. Try and use console.log to see what your code is outputting.

3

oky let me try to do that

4

its still not working

5

what’s your code now?

6 
// Setup

var myArray = [];

var i = 0;

while(i < 6) {

    myArray.push(i);

    i++;

}
7

you are starting from 0 and then increasing, the challenge asks for decreasing values instead

8

var myArray = ;

var i = 5;

while(i < 0) {

myArray.push(i);

i++;
10

what should I do exactly I am confused

12

Okay Iet me try it again

HI @nanay !

If you are still working through the problem let me offer you some advice.

I think you should first solve this problem away from code on just pen and paper.

If someone asked you to give them a list of numbers from 5 -0 you would write this

5,4,3,2,1,0

Now that we understand the problem, you want to add each of those numbers to the array.

The while loop only executes when the condition is true.

Is 5<0.
Well no. So the loop is never run.
So you need to fix this logic where the condition is true.

once you do that then you have to fix the logic in the while loop.

This part is correct

but this part doesn’t work for the problem

If we increment by 1, then i now equals 6.

But if we look at what we are trying to do then 6 is not in here

5,4,3,2,1,0

So you need to change the logic so we can start generating the numbers in this list.

I would suggest adding this to the bottom of your code so you can see exactly what is happening
console.log(myArray)
