Hi Patrick, you almost got it , but you forgot to declare the variable with the var keyword.

Furhtermore, you can see if you log out the loop to the console the last value is undefined as you are checking if the number is smaller or equal to 25 which is not possible since you are always increasing your counter by 2 and 25 is not an even number hence try <=24.

for(var i =2; i<= 24;i+=2){
  console.log(i)

}

Well, it works just as well with i <=25 and passes the challenge. You will get the 'undefined' anyway even if you use i <= 24 or i <= 999 or if you change i += 2 to i += 1.

The 'undefined' on the last line in console means that the function is not defined to return anything.

Your code is fine but you need to delete these lines:

console.log(2);
console.log(4);
console.log(6);
console.log(8);
console.log(10);
console.log(12);
console.log(14);
console.log(16);
console.log(18);
console.log(20);
console.log(22);
console.log(24);
