Am I missing something?

'''int counter = 0;

while(cycle == true) { counter = counter + 1; } Console.WriteLine(counter); '''

Shouldnt it skip the loop because it hasnt a boolean before the loop that says true? Im a bit confused

Hi,

Read again the question, it is said there that the value for cycle is true.

Yes, But they Never say that it is a boolean? I cant see it, to put ”cycle == True” in while you have to have a boolean right ?

They did not write that line of code but they told you that cycle was set to true. https://imgur.com/yHJ8YiP

So you dont need to have boolean above the loop?

bool cycle = true;

while(cycle == true) { Console.WriteLine("I'm cool."); }

Are you missing the "bool cycle = true"?

Hi there, you are correct in your assumption here that if you were actually writing code you would need to create a boolean variable named cycle for this code to run. I think that for the purposes of this quiz question they omit that from the code and tell you that it is true.
