var counter;
for (var i = 4; i <= 156; i ++ ) {
counter = i;
}
console.log(counter);
Okay this is what Ive got! You created the variable as if it held an empty 'String' When its a integer that is getting placed in it none the less. This should console log 156. Hope that helps. Your code works I don't know why you had trouble with it?
Check the developer tools console for the count result :)

for (var i = 4; i <= 156; i +=1) {
console.log(i);
}
console.log needs to be inside loop.
