Create a for loop that logs the numbers 4 to 156 to the console method.

How do I get it to repeat more than one time. what am I doing wrong.

script.js 
var counter= 0;
var times = 156
var html = ' ';

console.log( i );

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

}
  document.write( counter + "times" )
   counter += 1;

Your loop builds up a big string in "html", but then that variable isn't used for anything in the later code. But even if it were, that's not what the challenge is asking for. Here's some hints that may help get you back on track:

  • you won't need to use any HTML tags in this challenge
  • you also will not need to write anything to the document, the output should go to the console instead
  • the instructions say, "To log a value to the console use the console.log( ) method."
  • you can log each number easily by putting the logging statement inside the loop
