Who is this for-loop incorrect?

the code seemed to run fine on Atom; but it was incorrect for the assignment. Please enlighten me. Feeling frustrated.

script.js 
var counter = 0
for (var counter = 4; counter<=156; counter +=1 ) {
  console.log(" " + counter + " ");}

Hi there! You're doing great, but you got a little fancy with your output. You've put two blank spaces on either side of the counter you're logging out, which results in output they aren't expecting. If I remove the two blank spaces " " on either side of counter and the + signs, your code passes!

:bulb: It's always a good idea in these challenges to try not to do anything the challenge doesn't explicitly ask for. Even if functional, it can cause the challenge to fail. In cases where they are checking for output, it generally must be correct to the letter. This includes punctuation, spelling, capitalization and even spacing.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
