How do I make the console.log run until the program is over? Challenge is telling me I have it running only once.

Though I entered the code into a workspace and it ran perfectly, the challenge is shooting back that I don't have the console.log running until all the numbers from 4 to 156 are displayed.

Can anyone see something I am missing? Should the console.log be in the braces of the for function?

script.js 
var num = '';

for ( var i = 4; i <= 156; i += 1 ) {
  num +=  i ;
}

console.log(num);

Yes, the console.log() method needs to be in the loop body. Btw, you can actually leave out the var num declaration and just use the i variable as the argument in the console.log() method.

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