create a for loop challenge

Please help, i'm confused.. the question is asking me to create a for loop that prints out all the numbers from 4 to 156 to the console. This is my code below. Thanks!

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

script.js 
for ( var i = 4; i < 156; i++ ) {
 console.log(152); 
}

Your console.log is writing 152.

for ( var i = 4; i < 156; i++ ) {
 console.log(152); 
}

It should be writing the variable i that contains the count.

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

As its currently written it will only write up to 155 so you'll need to adjust your for loop to account for that.

The variable i is what will generate the numbers between four and 156. So you will need to change the < to <= to include 156 as well and console log the i. Vew below

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

I hope this helps.

That works as well haha. That's the beauty of JavaScript. There are so many ways to get the same results.
