Test a custom input to verify an edge case (e.g. empty lists, negative numbers, duplicates).
This bug belongs to the infinite loops pattern
The tab freezes, nothing prints, and the loop condition never becomes false.
What went wrong: on an even number, continue skips the rest of the loop, including i = i + 1. i stays on the same number forever.
The fix: for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { if (nums[i] % 2 === 0) continue; count++; }
Remember: in a while loop, continue can skip your step. A for loop always runs it.
The pattern behind it: infinite loops.
