create a for loop

I am stuck. Please help me out. Thank you very much for your help.

Create a for loop that logs the numbers 4 to 156 to the console. To log a value to the console use the console.log( ) method.

script.js 
var number;

for ( var i = 4; i <= 156; i += 1 ) {
      number += i
      console.log(number);
}

Try this:

for ( var i = 4; i <= 157; i++) {
      number += i
      console.log(number);
}

in your for loop for number += i take out the + sign and make it number = i; don't forget your semicolon.

It looks like there an issue with the variable in the challenge, try logging i to the console.

Looks like your loop is setup correctly, what's the purpose of the variable number? Don't you already have a variable with the value you desire?
