I believe I have completed the challenge, however, I keep getting an error message. What is wrong with my code?

I'm using the same code in the "Launch Code Editor" and viewing it in the console in the browser. I believe that I'm completing the challenge. From what I understand, the challenge is asking to "output" all the numbers from 4 to 156 to the console. However, although the code is still receiving an error message.

What do you see wrong with my code? Or, am I misunderstanding the challenge?

In advance, thank you.

-Jaime,

script.js 
var number = '';

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

console.log(number);

You wont need to declare a variable since you're just printing to the console. The console can go inside the loop.

This will solve the problem:

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

However, if you wished to declare a global variable you could also do:

var number = 0;

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