//3. For the loop that is commented out below, update the while condition by replacing the ?? so that the loop runs 5 times

// I'll do the data setup here to create a list of contacts that all have a first name:
Contact c1 = new Contact(FirstName='Sam');
Contact c2 = new Contact(FirstName='Diane');
Contact c3 = new Contact(FirstName='Coach');

//No
//What would it take to get them there?
