console.log(i);
}

5,950 PointsHello Heather.
There is an error in the logic you've used here.
In the conditional part of your code:
(i <= 5 && i >= 100).
You have placed two different conditions as requirements for your code to keep running. It will return undefined or some other error because:
- You should one put only condition there ie: (i <= 5) OR (i >= 100).
- These conditions are logically incorrect and do not evaluate to true and hence cannot run.
- Your code is incrementing a variable named "counter" as opposed to "i" which you had defined earlier.
Why don't you tell me what you want to achieve and then i can tell you how to adjust your code to do it.

5,950 PointsGreat news Heather. I took a look at the challenge and worked out how i think your code could've looked like. Here it is:
You will notice that:
1. There is only one condition in this for loop :
i<=1002. The code evaluates to true as it increases the number 5 and will run while the new number is less than 100, just like in the condition i gave above.
3. I used the variable "i" instead of "counter" and so it means I am incrementing "i" instead of the variable "counter" that doesn't exist.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,278 PointsOhhhhhh. I didn’t even notice I had put counter in. Also. Turns out I like to make everything more difficult for myself! Thank you so much, that is way simpler than I tried to make it.
