Not sure what is wrong here?

I have an error telling me that var count did not write 26 times? Any help is much appreciated in advance! :)

script.js 
var count = 0;

while ( count > 26 ){
count += 1
}
document.write(count);

Change the inequality sign, put a ; after 1, and put document.write inside the while loop.

Hey Val, As described above, but I will lay it out for you and anyone else that may come across this:

var count = 0;

while ( count < 26 ){
  count += 1;
  document.write(count);
}
