This is the challenge:
Create a for loop that logs the numbers 4 to 156 to the console. To log a value to the console use the console.log( ) method.
This is the error msg:
Bummer! You need to log out EVERY number from 4 to 156 to the console. Your loop calls the console.log() method 1 times.
I ran the code in the text editor and it logs every number to the console as instructed. Am I supposed to call the console log method multiple times? I'm unsure how. Every time I tweak it, I get it MORE wrong. Please assist. Thank you very much for any help!
var loop = '';
for ( var i = 3; i <= 156; i += 1 ) {
loop += i + ' ';
}
console.log(loop);

Also, you don't need to append a space to the number when you log it.

231,269 PointsYou can log each number by calling "console.log" inside the loop. That will also save you from needing the string variable.
But you may have another issue also since the instructions say to start at 4 but your loop index starts with 3.

Courses Plus Student 1,922 PointsHey, thanks for your time! I've changed it to this:
for ( var i = 4; i !== 156; i += 1 ) { console.log(i + ' '); }
And it gives me this error: Bummer! You need to log out EVERY number from 4 to 156 to the console. Your loop calls the console.log() method 152 times.
I have tried so many things that I think SHOULD be correct and NOTHING is working...I'm confused what more needs to be done.
