Code Challenge (For Loops in JavaScript)

So here is the question that I need to answer:

Create a for loop that logs the numbers 4 to 156 to the console. To log a value to the console use the console.log( ) method

Here is my answer:

var html = '';

for ( var i >= 4; i <= 156; i += 1) { console.log(html); html += '<div>' + i + '</div>'; }

document.write(html);

And here is the feedback I keep getting: There was an error with your code: SyntaxError: Parse error

first, this is solution for that challenge

var html = '';

for ( var i = 4; i <= 157; i += 1) { console.log(i); }

you have a few mistakes. You can't make variable with >= you put this in for loop to make i var. var must be with = because that is value i = 4. You don't need change html variable because you only must use console.log to print in console. Don't use document.write. In challenge they say that you must use console.log

I don't know why. I try this again on my account and it's pass. Try to contact support. Maybe you put all on one line. try something like this.

var html = '';

for ( var i = 4; i <= 156; i += 1) { 
     console.log(i); 
}

In my first answer i have one mistake i <= 156

console.log(i) needs to be outside the for loop
