19,870 PointsReview your for loop syntax - do you start with the correct initialization, does your condition stop the loop at the correct time and does your final-expression do the right thing and the end of each iteration?.
Here's the syntax from MDN
for ([initialization]; [condition]; [final-expression]) statement

19,870 PointsUse the isset() as part of a conditional to know if the number (index) has a value in the $facts array and when it does print out that text.

Task one no longer passing..
please can you just help me with the code, I will get to understand better, please

19,870 PointsOK, but debugging your code is the fun part :)
Here's how I would do it - let me know if you have any questions:
<?php
$facts = array(
57 => ' on Heinz ketchup bottles represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had.',
2 => ' is the approximate hours a day Giraffes sleeps',
18 => ' is the average hours a Python sleeps per day',
10 => ' per cent of the world is left-handed.',
11 => ' Empire State Buildings, stacked one on top of the other, would be required to measure the Gulf of Mexico at its deepest point.',
98 => '% of the atoms in your body are replaced every year',
69 => ' is the largest number of recorded children born to one woman',
);
//add your loop below this line
$num = 100;
for($i = 1; $i <= $num; $i++){
echo $i;
if (isset($facts[$i])) {
echo $facts[$i];
}
};
And it produces the following output - I skipped the newline since I don't think the challenge said anything about line breaks:
