Javascript: simplify-repetitive-tasks-with-loops/create-a-for-loop: Dears, I stucked in this task.

Maybe I don't understand the question. Should I write to the console numbers, from 4 to 156, right? Like: 4,5,6.....155,156 and finish. I used this for loop:

script.js: for (var i=4;i<157;i+=1){ console.log(" "+i); }

script.js 
for (var i=4;i<157;i+=1){
 console.log(" "+i); 
}

Hi
for (var i=4;i<157;i+=1){ //the challenge ask to loop numbers (4 to 156) not 157
 console.log(" "+i); // there's no need to quotes(" ") and plus sign(+)
}

for (var i = 4; i <= 156; i++){ // so your loop should be like this
 console.log(i); 
}

Dear Thayer,

Thanks for your quick reply. I know that the challenge is to write number from 4 to 156, and the first part of my code is ok: for (var i=4;i<157;i+=1), (because its not i<=157, its i<157. However I mixed up with the document.write method, that is why I put " " before the items, due to the space between the numbers. I deleted the quotes and after worked perfectly.
