Treehouse TeacherHi there, chuck kotulka! You're doing fine but there are two separate things going on here and no, it's not a bug Many code challenges use "strict mode" which prevents the implicit creation of a global variable. Secondly, you left the original console.log()
statements in place. So those are running too.
You typed this:
for( i = 2; i < 26; i += 2)
But in "strict mode", you would need:
for(let i = 2; i < 26; i += 2)
The rest of your loop is fine. When I add the let
and remove the original console.log()
calls, the code passes the challenge
Hope this helps!
