JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Simplify Repetitive Tasks with Loops Create a for Loop

Is this a bug?

The challenge is:

"Create a for loop that logs the numbers 4 to 156 to the console. To log a value to the console use the console.log( ) method."

This is the error: "Bummer! You need to log out EVERY number from 4 to 156 to the console. Your loop calls the console.log() method 1 times."

I tried the code using the workspace and it works perfectly. I don't understand why it gives me the error.

Any ideas?

script.js
var n = " ";

for (var i = 4; i <= 156; i += 1 ) {
  n += " " + i + " ";  
}

console.log(n);

Hi Davide,

It is not a bug, and while you could do like you did, they want you to do something else. They want you to log the number as part of the loop. Try logging your value inside of the loop.

Hint: There won't be a need for your n variable.

I hope that helps!

It can be tough sometimes when there is 50 ways to do something and the challenge-compiler wants a special one of them :)
