Create a for loop that logs the numbers 5 to 100 to the console. Use the console.log() method to log a value to the cons

script.js 
for ( let i = 5; i < 100; i++ ) {
  console.log (i);
}

Hi Ndhokoyo!

You are so close!

Unfortunately, your loop will quit after logging 99.

This passes:

for ( let i = 5; i <= 100; i++ ) { // Will get to 100
  console.log (i);
}

This would also work:

for ( let i = 5; i < 101; i++ ) { // Will get to 100
  console.log (i);
}

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!

I don't understand. In Guils video, there is this whole thing there : function getRandomNumber(upper) { return Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1; } and now there's none of that and we're the value "counter" in console.log.... please help

Hi Didier!

This is just a different kind of (more hard-coded) type of looping structure.

The lower value is 5 and the upper value is 100

And this will log to the console:

5
6
7
8
.
.
.
97
98
99
100
