I'm not understanding why the for loop is not working for this challenge

What am i missing. I know the first statement runs before the loop starts. 2nd statement is conditional meaning it will run until that condition is false 3rd adds additional to i after each time the loop runs the code that is suppose to execute should write i plus a space then the console should log it.

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

You simply have to write the console.log of the "i" variable every cycle of the loop

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

Zeeshan,

Your code is working perfectly well at my end, and Roberto's method is correct if you're only looking to display the loop-count then you should just type

console.log(i);

But if you are going to append something with it for instance,

html = i + " number";

then you should use:

console.log(html);

My code is below which I used...

<html>
<script>
      var html;
for (i=4; i<=156; i++) {
  html = i + " number";
  console.log(html);
}
</script>
</html>
