3,505 PointsHow to log out the even numbers from 2 to 24
I don't know how to target the even numbers:
for(var i=2;i<=24;i+=2){ if (i=== true) { i+=2; } console.log(); }
for(var i=2;i<=24;i+=2){
if (i=== true) {
i+=2;
}
console.log();
}

for(var i = 2; i <= 24; i += 2){
console.log(i);
}

You may want to try this, as well:
for (var i=2;i<=24;i+=1){ if (i % 2 === 0) { console.log(i); } }
% is the modulus operator. 'if' statement in the for loop writes the number, that is i, on the console only if i is divisible by 2. Of course, this can be extended to any case... for instance, in order to write down all numbers between 2 and 24 that are divisible by 6..
for (var i=2;i<=24;i+=1){ if (i % 6 === 0) { console.log(i); } }
I hope that this helps.

3,505 PointsHey Stephen and Mustafa,
Thank you both for the answers. In the meanwhile I got it resolved by searching on the internet. I found out about the way of Mustafa, with the modulus operator. I'm happy you wrote it down, because I didn't understand the complete meaning of (i % 2===0) (their was no explanation or name modulus operator where I found it) but with your answer I do.
Stephen, Your answer helped me in finding out that what I was doing at first was right, i just forgot to call for the i in console.log. The way i wrote it down above, was another solution, because at that time, I didn't see that I forgot the i, when at first, I just used the for loop, like you suggested. . So now I know it indeed was that simple.
So thank you to the both of you.
Greets,
Anouk
P.S: I wanted to give a 2 for best answer to the both of you, since both answers where spot on in what I needed. But apparently, you can't do that. Too bad, because it really should have been 2-2 instead of 1-1.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 12,729 PointsThanks Stephen. I was stuck on this one too... I'm still not sure if I understand why this worked but I'm hoping with more practice I will understand.
