for loop Challenge

I'm confused. Can someone break this challenge down for me?

script.js 
for ( var i = 1; i <= 156; i += 1 ) {
  counter = 1;
}
console.log()

Hi ! I give you some hints:

You need to use the console.log() INSIDE your loop ! and here, your "counter" is the variable i. So it's this variable you need to log in the console. The way you declared your loop, it will run from 1 to 156. Be sure to set the proper value for i :)

Try this, if you can't figure it out i'll give you the code. Gl dude!

Oh wait, I think I get it! Thanks for not giving me the answer. I was hoping for only an explanation like you did.

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

I get it now! The i += 1 is looping to increment by 1 every time the condition holds true.

:) You're welcome!

Yep that's the good code =) You can also use "i++" instead of "i += 1" (it's the same !)

Enjoy the course ;) seeya
