Stuck on the first 'for' loop challenge!

Hi guys,

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong and getting a parse error. I have to write a for loop that will print the numbers 4 to 156 in the console. Here's what I wrote:

var i = 0; for (i = 4; i <= 156; i += 1;) { console.log(i); }

I'm not getting anything...can anyone help?

Thanks!

There is no need to declare "i" outside of the loop, the first part of a for loop takes care of that for you. Just include "var" when declaring "i" in your for loop.

for(var i = 4; i<=156; i++){
 console.log(i); 
}

Thanks so much! I think one of the main problems was the semicolon after the third statement in the 'for' bit. Thanks again though!
