Set Variable not working as intended
I am trying to use the set variable inside a loop as a counter variable, it doesn't get updated inside the loop though. The variable is initialised with 0. The loop is running 6 times but the value of the variable is stuck at 1. Am i doing something wrong?

It seems like there might be an issue with how the counter variable is being updated within the loop. To better diagnose the problem, let's review some common causes and solutions:
1. Scope of Variable: Ensure that the counter variable is declared and accessible inside the loop. If it's being accessed in a different scope, it might not be getting updated.
2. Assignment Statement: Double-check the loop logic to ensure that the counter variable is being incremented correctly. It should look something like this:
counter = counter + 1 or use the increment operator counter++.
3. Loop Execution: Verify that the loop is indeed running the number of times you expect. You might want to add a console.log() or an equivalent output statement inside the loop to track the iteration number.
4. Data Type: Make sure the counter variable is initialized as a number, not as a string or another type that doesn't support arithmetic operations.
If you're still encountering issues, feel free to provide more details about your loop and variable setup, and I can offer further assistance.
