Why is this function not working?

Can someone please explain why this function is not working? I would really appreciate that.

script.js 
function makeRows(rows) {
  for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
    $("main .container").append("<div class='row'></div>"); // Make row div
  }
}

Looks like you're missing the rest of your for loop condition.

You need to add what should happen to the i variable every time the loop executes. You also need to close the parentheses and add an opening curly brace to your for loop.

First, your For loop is not complete... you have declared your counter variable i, but you have not included the conditional statement, and you have not incremented i... If I am understanding what you are trying to do correctly, your code should look like this: 

function makeRows(rows) {
  for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
    $("main .container").append("<div class='row'></div>"); // Make row div
  }
}
