Hey, Kim

It's okay to get stuck and feel like u don't know anything. that's how i felt when i was working on that and TBH i was stuck for 2 weeks and after watching those videos too many times i finally figured it out...

hi!, for loops work like that: u need to declare from where i start like u did, then u need to make a statement when the loop will stop which will happen in i<=156 and after that u need to increment the i in order to loop though each number. watch the videos again it will be more clear. if this answer helped u mark as best answer

Hey Kim,

You're almost there! Try to read and re-read your for loop, to really understand what it does. That's a trick I use when I'm stuck. So in this case;

Variable i equals 4; if i is smaller or equal to 156; add one to i until it equals 156. If you have any more questions just go ahead!

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