CODE
#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::cin;

int main()
{
    //declare variable
    int counter = 1;
    int HELLO = 0;
    
    
        //perform loop
    while (HELLO>=1)
    {
        cout << "HELLO" << HELLO << endl;
        
    }//end while
    return 0;
}   //end of main function


it has to display hello 10 times

you need to have something that increments HELLO... for example add: HELLO++; inside the loop.

Then you need to set the exit condition for you loop so that it exits when hello is printed 10 times...

Mentally walk your logic. The very first entry reads while (0>=1). Well, 0>=1 is simply not true, so you never get to print anything; do not pass go.

This one actually so simple you may not find the answer, so I'll offer it.

try this:
CODE

int counter = 0;
while (counter < 10) {
   cout << "HELLO: " << counter << endl;
   //Important, you MUST increment counter or the loop will run forever
   counter++;
}


Hope this helps.
