Treehouse TeacherHi there, Ben! You've got your for loop set up splendidly, but then it doesn't do anything. The curly braces denote the block of code that we want to run each iteration of the loop. But your block is empty. If I move your console.log(i) inside the for loop, the code passes!
On a side note, the variable i is not defined in the global scope. This means that the variable is only accessible while the for loop is running. Trying to access that variable outside the loop will generate an error.
Hope this helps!
