can't seem to get my loop to work
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
for (var i = 100; i < temperatures.length; i +=1){
console.log(temperatures[i])
}

It is not about the value of the individual elements, it is about the number of elements in the array. Also, you will want to run a loop and count up, you will want to create i=0 to start with. You are trying to begin at element '0' in the array.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 44,819 PointsHi,
The code below will pass this challenge:
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
for (i=0; i<temperatures.length; i++) {
console.log(temperatures[i]);
}
In your code, you have set i to 100, and the array only contains 8 values, so when you test to see if 100 is less than 8, the test condition is not met and it will stop.
Hope this helps
