Can someone help me out, I'm getting a syntax error but on my repl.it I'm getting the correct answer

Any help in understanding how I could have written this better?

script.js 
var i;
for ( let i = 2; i <= 24; i++) {
  if ( i % 2 === 0) {
    console.log(i)
  }
}

In addition to that change let to var. Some challenges predate the use of let.

delete the var i; It's working as expected.
