For loops won't work

Here is the task: Create a for loop that logs the numbers 4 to 156 to the console. To log a value to the console use the console.log( ) method.

I've written the loop but it doesn't work :(

script.js 
for ( var i = 1; i > 4 && i < 156; i += 1 ) {
  return i;
}
console.log(i);

Hi Sergey,

Your loop will not work because the condition in the for will be false for the first 3 numbers. I would recommend initializing i = 4 from the beginning when you set var i=1 and then comparing with 156.

So for (var i=4; i <156; i +=1) { return i; }

Thank you, Adrian

Thanks Adrian! Now I got it! 

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