I am having difficulty with this challenge. The loop looks correct to me but I'm not understanding what could be missing. When I run it, it says Bummer! Try again!.
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);
for (i = 2; i <= 24; i * 2) {
console.log(i)
}

Next, your code seems to be headed in the right direction structure wise with your for loop but for your counter it should be i = i +2 or in shorthand i+=2 rather than times 2 because times two won't get all the even numbers (2,4,8,16, etc.). Fix that and the rest looks good.
Just another helpful note, where you have i * 2 right now, if that was what you wanted for solving a different problem in the future it would need to be set as i = i * 2 or i*=2 so that it will capture the current value of i, multiply it by two and then store it as the value for the i variable.
Keep up the coding. :)

9,910 PointsI tried that. Now I get Bummer! There was an error with your code: SyntaxError: Parse error. This almost seems like an impossible challenge!
