JavaScript JavaScript Loops Working with 'for' Loops Create a for Loop

Create a for loop that logs the #s 5 to 100 to the console. Use the console.log() method to log a value to the console.

This was my response: for ( i = 5; i <= 100; i++ ) { console.log(i); }

script.js
for ( i = 5; i <= 100; i++ ) {
      console.log(i);
}

Oops! Got it! I forgot to declare the variable to start at zero.

let i = 0;

Setting to 0 isn't necessary, you just needed a declaration. It doesn't need a separate line, it can be done as part of the the loop:

for (let i = 5; i <= 100; i++) {    // <-- notice the "let"
      console.log(i);
}

And even this is only necessary because the challenge operates in "strict" mode. In the default mode your original code would have been fine as is.
