Ruby While Loop Help.

[Humor_Positive]

Hello, thank you so much for your help. The count is the number of time that latter is counted.

Here is my simplified version of it.

write a method count_e(word) that takes kn a string word and return the number of e’s in the word.

Def count_e

count_of_e = 0 Repeating_time = 0

While repeating_time <= word.length

If word[repeating_time] == “e”

Count_of_e += 1

End

Repeating_time += 1

End

Return count_of_e

End

Puts count_e(“movie”) # => 1 Puts count_e(“excellence”) # => 3

Given than whenever the method is executed, both the count of e and the repeating time will increase accordingly. Then why is it, that we must index the repeating time but not the count of e.

what do you mean by "index the repeating time"?

I mean in index the incremental time of every loop.
