That is the wrong syntax for a while loop. That is the for loop syntax. Go back over the lessons for while and for loops

Tahiti, These pages have the extended explanation about event handler function's argument. Basically, the first parameter of event handler accepts an event object which carries information about the event e.g. coordinates of mouse click for click event in a mouse equipped device. * Look for a section with "Event Objects" heading ... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Building_blocks/Events https://eloquentjavascript.net/15_event.html

while...loop only takes an expression (loop condition). Did you mean to use for.loop instead? Also, there's semicolon at end of line 4. Even after changing the while loop to for...loop still won't print <num> (loop body) with that semicolon being there ..

Ipang I tried for loop first and when it failed, I tried ā€œwhileā€. Thank you for this guidance.

Ipang It is supposed to output numbers 1 to 10 when the button is clicked.

Tahiti, I think you meant to log <x> rather than <num> at line 5 ... console.log( x );

TahitišŸ·Castillo Just change Line 5, change While loop to for loop and remove semicolon from its ends. Print the value of x instead of num // No need to use num if you are not passing anything to it just write btn.onclick = function() { // Your code }

NonStop CODING thank you for this clarification. I was actually wondering ā€œWhat about the num parameter?ā€
