Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong?
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
for(var i = 0; i > temperatures.length; i -=10){
console.log(i) ;
}

- temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10]
- 100 has an index of 0
- 90 has an index of 1 and so on.
The for loop you created is taking 10 away from the index value so you will never get to the next item in the array. To fix try i += 1 or i ++.
for ( var i = 0; i < temperatures.length; i ++) {
console.log(temperatures[i]);
};
Hope this helps

11,314 PointsThe solution is a bit different. First, now the i greater than the temperatures.length inside the for() loop. This is false, because i less than the temperatures.length. So you can modify your operator to the right operator. Second, i -= 10. This isn't true, because 100 - 10 equal to 90 but 90 - 10 not equal to 99. So this is the second bug. Just go through it smoothly, do not complicate. So you can modify this section to i++ or i += 1 both are the same. Finally, inside your console.log(). You can use the variable name outside your loop ,and after put your new variable name. Like this, console.log(your old variable name[your new variable name]). Hope this help!
