There are a couple of syntax problems in your code. First, you don't need to say mathTotal = mathTotal++ at the end of your for statement. That last part just needs to increment the counter variable mathTotal. So mathTotal++ should be all that's needed.

Next, you have a while statement inside your for loop. That is definitely not needed.

Lastly, what you really should be doing is declaring a new variable to use as the loop counter in your for loop. Then, in the body of the loop, you would add that value to mathTotal. It would look something like this:

for (int i = 5; i <= 25; i++)
{
    mathTotal += i;
}

Hope this helps!
