"The for loop has the following syntax:

for (statement 1; statement 2; statement 3) {
    code block to be executed
}

Statement 1 is executed before the loop (the code block) starts.

Statement 2 defines the condition for running the loop (the code block).

Statement 3 is executed each time after the loop (the code block) has been executed."

Good luck!

The syntax of your for loop is not correct.

for(var i = 2; i<=24; i+=2){
  console.log(i);
}
