Why is this wrong? Newbie here

var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10]; for (var i = 0; i<temperatures.length; i++); { console.log(temperatures[i]); }

script.js
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
for (var i = 0; i<temperatures.length; i++); {
 console.log(temperatures[i]); }

You were very close! Just had an extra semi-colon in your for loop

for (var i = 0; i<temperatures.length; i++) {
 console.log(temperatures[i]); }

Thanks man...yea sneaking in some practice at work. Appreciate it

Semi-colons in JavaScript can be super tricky, especially after coming from CSS and ending every statement with a semi-colon.

There are some good resources out there for when you need them, when they're optional, and when you should not use them https://news.codecademy.com/your-guide-to-semicolons-in-javascript/

No need for a semicolon here:

i++);
