Do you know how to define and initialize a second local variable?
Create one called i, with a value zero.
You test expression will not have a literal, but compare the two
locals. And the statement that increments will

You're getting closer. Remember that the assignment shows your
function being called with 10, not zero. So you should have a
separate local variable, probably called I, which starts at
zero, and gets incremented each

Incidentally, your assignment does not appear to require
a while loop, just iteration? If thats the case you could

I’m not sure exactly what it’s doing. I guess I need to read up on it again.

You use * to replicate the string, but that wasn't what the

Think about that line. You might even want to put in a separate
