241,809 PointsThe 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

241,809 PointsIt 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.

Courses Plus Student 14,981 PointsSorry 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
Steven Parker
241,809 PointsNo 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.

Courses Plus Student 14,981 PointsHaha why don't you just downvote me?? It's just a rating!

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

1,645 PointsI 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 .
Steven Parker
241,809 PointsAnother 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.
