It says a syntax error the whole time. By this.

I have attached the following below. ///////////// var count = 0;

while loop (count < 26){ document.write('The document prints out' + count + " many time"); count += 1; } ////////////

script.js 
var count = 0;

while loop (count < 26){
document.write('The document prints out' + count +  " many time");
count += 1;
}

:point_right: The word "loop" is not part of a while statement.

A while statement is a loop, but the word "loop" doesn't belong in it.

understandable Steven Parker ,I dunno how I could have missed that. I fixed it and now it tells me that the document.wite method was not even called

I'm not sure what you did.

I pasted your code above directly into the challenge, then removed the word "loop", and then pressed the "check work" button — and it passed.

You must have accidentally made some other change. Try again.
