Any ideas why this is happening?
for ( i=2; i<=25; i=+2 ) {
console.log(i);
}

for (var i=2; i<=25; i+=2 ) {
console.log(i);
}

It might be because it's causing an infinite loop. You're counting in multiples of 2, so even numbers starting from 2. But your condition is an odd number (25). It never stops at 25 but would go onto 26. I might be wrong but i think that's what's causing it. :-)

Courses Plus Student 21,242 PointsThe <= operator here would prevent that, since it should only run until i is less than or equal to 25. Once it hits 26 or above, the loop will terminate. :)

Treehouse Moderator 91,252 PointsTrue enough :)
and it looks like the question has been solved (I missed the increment operator mistake - oops) so all is well. :)
