"for" challenge

Question

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong here, best I can tell I'm supposed to log to the console individual numbers from 4 to 156, however with console.log outside the loop I get the message that I didn't do it right since it only logged once (number 4-156) and that I need to log EVERY number. But put console.log in the loop and I get "The console should write out 4 the first time in the loop and 156 the last time through the loop." I don't recall learning how to log individual numbers in a loop. Can I please get some help here?

script.js

var count = '';

for (var i = 4; i <= 156; i +=1) {
  count += i;
  console.log(count);
}

Hi Cody, The code below works. But let me explain your mistake. First You don't need 2 variables for this. Your variable "count" is no needed and even if it is. You can create empty variable like this: "var count;" No empty string is needed. You have to store number 4 which should be in console first. After you set condition how long should loop executing. Last you adding +1 to variable i but after when was executed. If you write ++i or i++ it is different. In my example i am adding 1 after code was executed in other case ++i you add +1 before and first result would be 5.

for (var i = 4; i <= 156; i++ ) { console.log(i); };

Ok so my count variable is what was messing with me, that makes so much sense now. Thank you so much
