Is it me or Javascript doesn't accept negative number.

Question

Hi there,

I tried to make a code that increment or decerement the value of a variable (inicialValue) while it isn't equal to a certain value (valueToReach)

Everything smooth when trying it on positive numbers. However, when trying on negative number, my entire code just dont work anymore (even trying on positive number again)

I posted my code so that someone may check it and tell me if there is something wrong or it is a SOLOLEARN problem.

It is working but do while loop is going till infinite. That's why it is not showing anything.

inicialValue will be always greater than valueToReach (-10) so you need to break your loop at some point.

See I have changed little bit and it worked well.

Hi I Am Groot !

Thanks for answering. The do-while of javascript is actually very diferent from the repeat-while of swift.

But there is a problem. In the code you introduced the value manually, so when I replace 10 by "valueToReach" it loop forever.

PS: I'm actually learning Javascript because we are learning it at school, but if I had to choose I would keep going with Swift XD
