You probably don't want to increment the "end" number. You'll need it in your loop to know when to stop.

You will want to increment a loop variable, but perhaps not by 1 (hint: the name of the function is "CountByThrees").

There is an error in the question, your suggested solution wouldn't work and you will be stuck.

It should work just fine if your loop begins at the start value, and runs while the loop variable is less than or equal ("<=") to the end value, and of course increments by 3.
