I don't know how to get the right answer here...

var x = 1; Do { console.log('#' + x); x += 14; //Why is 14 wrong? What do I do here?// } while ( x <= 15 )

According to the quiz here is what is displayed in the console

#1
#3
#5
#7
#9
#11
#13
#15

The initial value of x is 1 so that is logged the first time through. The next value logged is 3. 1 + 2 = 3. and so on.

If it were x += 1 then all numbers would be logged.

You are logging ever other number so each time you loop you would increment by 2.
