"Create a for loop that logs the numbers 4 to 156 to the console" Challenge - solution not being accepted

Hi, please help my solution to the Challenge "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." works in the Console (it delivers what is asked, in my view) but I am getting this message "Bummer: You need to log out EVERY number from 4 to 156 to the console. Your loop calls the console.log() method 154 times."

script.js
let number = '';
for ( let number=4; number <=156; number+=1 ) {
  console.log(number);
}
console.log("all finished");

Log only the numbers, the instructions didn't ask for a "finished" message.

Also, you don't need to create "number" before the loop. The one created inside the loop will "shadow" it anyway.

Thanks Steven, once again.

I removed the console.log("all finished"); and it worked. I really think Treehouse shouldn't judge it as a 'fail' if you leave a simple console.log line in.

I'd guess the checking mechanism just counts how many outputs are made without looking at their contents.
