Hi there! There's a couple of problems. First, you're resetting your mathTotal every iteration through the loop. It's expecting to have mathTotal keep a running total. So the first iteration it will be 5. The second it will be 5 + 6 (11). The third it will be 11 + 7 (18) etc.

Second, it wants you to set isComplete to true after the loop has completed. Currently, you're doing so in every iteration of the loop. Take a look:

    int mathTotal;
    bool isComplete;

    for (int i = 5; i <= 25 ; i++) {
        mathTotal += i;
    }

    isComplete = true;

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
