Trying to select numbers 4 to 156 in this code challenge. No idea how to do it.

I learned how to select numbers from 1 to 10, but I'm stumped when it comes to selecting a specific set of numbers in between?

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

Since i is going to be the variable that we increase and that counts our numbers between, 4 and 156, we put i in the parenthesis of the console.log() statement.

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

Also, since we know we're starting at 4, we can just initialize i to 4, and remove the i >= 4 portion of the for loop.

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

So with that, we log to the console everything between (and including) 4 and 156.
