var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
for (var i = 0; i < temperatures.length; i++) {
  console.log (i);

Hello! :)

What you have now only returns "i" which would look like "1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" because you going up one(i++) for each item in the array. You just want to add the element that you are trying to print out, which is temperatures[i]. Like this...

var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];

for (var i = 0; i < temperatures.length; i++) {
  console.log (temperatures[i]); 
}
