Question

The programmer used the incorrect keyword to create the loop. The keyword "Until" means the loop will continue until the condition is false, which in this case is never because intCounter is initially set to 1 and never changes. The correct keyword to use in this case is "While" which will continue looping as long as the condition is true (in this case, that intCounter is less than or equal to 15).
