Hi, I'm really not understanding why I'm getting an error for my array being listed out of order.
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
var i
function printList( list ){
var listHTML = '<ol>';
for ( i = 0; i < temperatures.length; i += 1){
listHTML += '<li>' + list[i] + '</li>';
}
listHTML += '</ol>';
}
console.log(i);

function and printing HTML list items. These should be removed otherwise the challenge will fail.
The for loop declaration is good, although you could condense things by declaring the i
variable inside of it. You'll need to move your console.log function inside the for loop in order for it to traverse each of the values in the array. Finally, console.log(i)
will only log the index. You need to log the value of the temperature array at that index, so give that a shot.
for (var i = 0; i < temperatures.length; i += 1) {
// add console.log() here
}
