My code keeps hanging...

I've been sailing along fairly well with Javascrpt up until this point.

I'm feeling really frustrated because I can't figure the problem out. The console keeps hanging and I don't understand why.

Can anyone help please?

Here's a snapshot.

I've only got as far as the second loop because I'm testing each loop as I go.

Cheers

Hey

In your 2nd for loop it seems that the 'i' variable never increases since its only adding 1 to it but it never reassigned it to 'i'. So 'i' simply stays as 1 and loops infinitely.

Changing

 for ( let i = 1; i <= 5; i + 1 )

To

 for ( let i = 1; i <= 5; i++  )  OR  for ( let i = 1; i <= 5; i += 1 )

Should fix this, as both statements adds one to 'i' and then reassigns it back into the 'i' during each iteration. That way 'i' can reach 5 and break out of the loop.

Hope that helps
