I could use some help

You need to log out EVERY number from 4 to 156 to the console. Your loop calls the console.log() method 1 times. That is the error I am getting.

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

Hi Randell,

You're super close. You just need to remember that you want to put the actions that you want performed during the for loop, actually within the loop.

If you move the console.log line up into the for loop, it will run perfectly.

for (var i = 4; i <=156; i += 1) {
  // guess what goes on this line? ;)
}

Also, you'll probably learn this shortly, but instead of i += 1, which means "add 1 to whatever i is each time we loop", you can use the shorter i++, which does the same thing.

Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike,

I just wanted to let you know I edited your answer so the code has syntax highlighting. You can do this by adding the name of the language in the code block after the first set of back-ticks.
