The answer given by Justin above is for a different question, plus explicit answers without any explanation are strongly discouraged by Treehouse.
Update: ...and apparently subject to redaction!

The question shows you a bit of code that is intended to produce the output shown. Your task is to fill in the 4 blanks to complete the code.

Hints:

  • each blank should be filled in with a single word or number
  • no symbols or punctuation are needed in any blanks
  • the question itself indicates this code uses a "do/while loop", check first for those keywords

This doesn't help man lol

It apparently did the trick for edgar! But it looks like someone posted another spoiler here, perhaps you saw it before it was redacted by a moderator.

Sorry man. Wasn't trying to make it seem offensive. That's why I put lol. I am saying maybe some pseudocode or something may be a better way to get peoples hamsters spinning

No offense taken, and I do sometimes use pseudocode in hints. This question wasn't very specific so I was just guessing at a few things that might help. I still have to wonder about the downvotes, though.

Haha why don't you just downvote me?? It's just a rating!

You can't vote on comments, only answers. :wink:

Try the following answer -

var x = 1;
   do {
     console.log('#' + x );
     x += 2;
} while ( x <= 15)

Your x is a number next to #, it looks like that "#x". In first run of the loop console will give you #1 because you start with var x = 1. A simple mathematical sequence has been used in the task (x + 2) therefore you need to x += 2; each time until it reaches 15.

thank you, it works

I don't understand how to do this problem. I know where there DO and the WHILE words go, but I don't know what numbers go in the remaining two spaces. I have tried: 1, 2 and 1, 3 .

Another way to approach this is to think about (perhaps even write down) how you would write a "do...while" loop to produce the output shown. Then compare your program to the one with the blanks to determine what goes in each blank.

okay boomer Steven

It's nice to know that answers from years ago are still being read, but I don't understand this comment. Can you explain?

I was doing this wrong, lol.... I was doing

i += 1;

Didn't read the console output (shakes head)
