I'm not sure what to improve on this code. I tried it in a separate console and the code runs

I am getting an error saying that strict mode rejects the global property 'i', but I am not sure how else to approach this to make the code more efficient.

script.js 
for(i=2;i<=24;i+=1){
console.log(i);
}

You have to define "i" with one of the variable keywords (var or let) at the beginning of the loop.
