pls help,I couldn’t figure out.  
always get line 8:type error: statement execution limit reached  
what’s the issue here?

```python

while(true) {
    var coins = hero.findItems();
    var coinIndex = 0;

// Wrap this into a loop that iterates over all coins.
  while(coinIndex < coins.length) { 
        var coin = coins[coinIndex];
        // Gold coins are worth 3.
        if (coin.value == 3) {
            // Only pick up gold coins.
            hero.moveXY(coins.pos.x, coins.pos.y);
            coinIndex += 1;
        }
    }
}
```

Statement execution limit usually means something is stuck in an infinite loop. In this case, it’s your loop going across all coins.

Think carefully about what happens if it’s currently inspecting, say, a silver coin (`coin.value == 2`). Since the if statement isn’t run, `coinIndex` is never incremented, and the loop will run again inspecting the same coin. Repeat forever.

To solve this you’ll want to move `coinIndex += 1` out of the if statement. Regardless of whether the coin is a gold coin or not, you don’t want to handle it again, so increment to the next one.
