Hi Devanshi, just a couple of minor issues, first your code outputs 11 numbers when the challenge requires 12, we can fix this by adding an equals "=" sign after the less than "<" to make the loop run one more time. Secondly, each time your loop runs it outputs the number 11 which is not what we want. We want to output the variable i during each loop so we see 2,4,6,8,10 etc. Making these small changes we get the following:

for (var i=2; i<=24 ; i+=2) //use <= 
{
console.log(i); //output the variable i
}

This should now work, hope that helps!!
