I tried what Video said, but it doesn't work.

Can anyone tell me where I type wrong? Coz it keep showing error in console and I set parameter "start = 1" seems not working.

function countToFive(start=1) {
  for(var i = start; i <= 5; i+=1) {
    console.log(i);
  }
}

countToFive(0);

Default parameters are only available in browsers supporting ES6.

In case your browser does not, you can replace the top line with these two:

function countToFive(start) {
  if (start === undefined) start = 1
