For this task, do I have to print the numbers 0 to 99 as strings. If so, kindly suggest me how I can solve it.

This is the difference between the number and a string const a = 1; const b = '1'; a is a number and b is a string. However, I'm not sure that in this task you're required to convert the numbers into strings. Just print the number from 0 to 99 into the console using a loop. If there any issues, add the submission results and your code.

Hello, when I press " Submit task " I get all " Details " wrong, but when I press " Run your code " the results show that at least objectives 1. and 2. are accomplished. Here are my files/code: helper.js export let i = 0; export const myLoop = (m) => { while (m < 100) { console.log(m); m++; } }; solution.js import { myLoop, i } from './helper.js'; myLoop(i);

Task 130

@alxjspalma there's no reason to put i outside of the function. It should be encapsulated in it.

You're not the first who makes such a mistake. I'll add it as a hint to the task description.

Coderslang_Master Won't i become 0 in each iteration, if it goes inside de while loop?

This time, I only re-arranged the helper.js file with minimal changes. I put the i inside the function and was able to submit it successfully.

export const myLoop = () => {
    let i = 0;
    while (i <= 99) {
      console.log(i);
      i++;
    }
};

I think the reason people are placing i outside the while loop is because that's how you demonstrate it in the tutorial.
This is a difficult one to solve as the error doesn't make it at all obvious that this is what the automatic test is looking for!

I made a mistake and meant to say "no reason to put i outside of the function".

You're right and it should stay outside of the loop.

Coderslang_Master But it still doesn't want to pass 2 of 3 checks.
✅ 1. myLoop function should print 100 strings
❌ 2. myLoop function should print numbers from 0 to 99
❌ 3. myLoop function should use a while loop

I used typeof i. All of them are numbers.

// helpers.js
let i = 0;

export const myLoop = () => {
  while (i <= 99) {
    console.log(i);
    i++;
  }
};

// solutions.js
import { myLoop } from './helper.js';

myLoop();

The issue is that i was declared outside of the loop.

I'll make amends to the task condition.

Hacktinium Makes sense, though it must be placed outside of the loop, but not outside of the function.

Hi, I just took this lesson today and noticed this mistake. In the lesson, the variable was declared outside the function.

Coderslang_Master

sheila I just checked the lecture and I don't see any evidence of the error. Could you post a screenshot to highlight the issue?

let i = 0;

while (i < 99) {
console.log(i = String(i));
i++;
}
export const myLoop = () => {
console.log(i = String(i));
};

i still received error message

❌ 1. myLoop function should print 100 strings
❌ 2. myLoop function should print numbers from 0 to 99
❌ 3. myLoop function should use a while loop

Coderslang_Master

jomer the function myLoop doesn't print 100 strings to the screen because the while loop is located outside of the function.
