this frustrating i keep getting infinite loops

```python
// To grab the most gold quickly, just go after gold coins.

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];
        if (coin.value === 3) {
            hero.moveXY(coin.pos.x, coin.pos.y);
        }
    }
}

```

you aren’t incrementing coinIndex, so it is giving you infinite loop

That’s not how it is done in javascript, it would be coinIndex ++  
and put it outside the if statement
