I'm not sure what is wrong with my code. Can someone please explain to me what i did wrong?

variable_assignment.mm 
int mathTotal;
  bool isComplete;

for(int i = 5; i = 25; i++;) {
  mathTotal = mathTotal + i;
  bool isComplete = true;
}

Almost! Unfortunately there are a few things wrong. You don't need the semicolon after the i iteration and I took out the i = 25, i put " i is less then 26 ". That way it should loop until it hits 25 then stop. Lastly the isComplete Boolean is already declared. So you can simply use it's name. I put the isComplete outside the loop so when it hits 25 it becomes true. If you keep it in the loop it becomes true each iteration.

Your code should be as follows:

int mathTotal;
bool isComplete;

for(int i = 5; i < 26; i++) {
 mathTotal = mathTotal + i;
}
 isComplete = true;

i seem to still be having problems. It tells me did you use a correct conditional stop? i believe we did?
