Stuck on this ' for loop ' code challenge...

This is the question: Create a for loop that logs the numbers 4 to 156 to the console. To log a value to the console use the console.log( ) method.

This is as far as I have got with it. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I am getting wrong. Many thanks for your time.

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

since it tell you start from 4, make the variable i has the value of 4, then in conditional statement put i <= 156 and the increment shorthand i++ since it tell you to just increment it by 1 for each loop. You don't need the parentheses for the condition

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

Hi Edward,

You have over complicated the basics of the loop - start with variable 'i' as a value of 4 and then have the conditional for <=156 and the increment is fine - the code should read:

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

Also double check all your brackets in future as you seemed to have several odd pairs in your first code attempt.
