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( ) me

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

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

Hi there, you almost got it! If you would put your code into the console you would see that the last number that will be logged is 155 since it is testing if i is smaller than 156 which means when it comes to 156 the condition is not true anymore. You can just fix this with adding an <= (smaller than or equal to).

When you log variable i in the console you do not need to put it between brackets as that would create 156 arrays.

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

Great answer I had a similar issue) But why do we use i++ I mean the plus-plus operators?

Thanks in advance.
