Not sure if this is the way to set up this while loop.

can someone look at my code?

script.js 
while ( i = 0; i < 12; i += 1) {
    console.log()   
       }

console.log(2);
console.log(4);
console.log(6);
console.log(8);
console.log(10);
console.log(12);
console.log(14);
console.log(16);
console.log(18);
console.log(20);
console.log(22);
console.log(24);

I think you meant to use a for loop, as that allows you to use that loop format instead of the while loop. I can see why you would put 12 as the breaking condition but that's actually the number of iterations and it actually breaks at 24 going up in increments of 2. So your code would look something like this:

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

This above code doesn't work, including when you add "var" in front of i=2.
