You are very close you didnt need the last semi-colon in your for statement though.

for ( var i = 2; i <= 24; i += 2) { //didnt need the ; after i +=2
console.log(i);
}

This should now work.

Happy coding

Nothing! Get rid of the semi-colon after the third statement and it should work perfect ^^

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