What is wrong with my code?

Look my code... y use correctly the for loop... i'm missing something?

src/loops/loop.go 
package loops

import "fmt"

func CountByThrees(start int, end int) {
  for i := 3; i <= 12; i += 3{
    fmt.Println(i)
  }
}

I also don't seem to understand what could be wrong with my loop below. 

package loops

import "fmt"

func CountByThrees(start int, end int) {
   for i := 3; i <= 9; i+=3 {
   fmt.Println(i)
    }
}

and below is the Preview that reproduces what's required from the question. can someone please shed some light.

--- FAIL: ExampleCountByThrees_1 (0.00s) got:

  • 3
  • 6
  • 9

want:

  • 6
  • 9
  • 12

FAIL FAIL loops 0.003s

You forgot to use the function arguments.

You hard-coded a starting value of "3" and an ending value of "12".

Change your code so that it uses the arguments passed in to the function to control the start and end values.
