Hi Josias, you have a few minor problems that you need to fix :)

  1. You have no need for the counter variable. The value of i will be incremented each iteration, and that is what will need to be provided to the console.log() method.

  2. Inside the for loop, a semi-colon is used to separate the parts, not a comma.

  3. The ending condition also needs to be modified. Using i < 156 means that it will run when i is 155, but it won't run when i is 156 (which is a requirement of this challenge).
