Can you help me with this code

Is this code correct or I type it wrong

script.js 
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];

for (var i = 0; i < temperatures.length; i += 1) {
  console.log(temperatures);
}

console.log(temperatures[i]);

if you want to loop through the temperatures this is what you'd do

:point_right: The challenge wants only one item logged at a time.

Your code logs the entire array each time through the loop. Try selecting just one of the items to log:

  console.log(temperatures[i]);

The way it is written right now, it is simply logging the entire array to the console 8 times. To fix it so that it puts each temperature individually you would change this statement

console.log(temperatures[i]);

That is if what you are trying to achieve is an iteration thru the array itself.

Hey Sudhir,

Your really close. In the console log, the code is just logging temperatures as the entire array. Using the i variable from the loop, you need to log each item in the array separately.

So, it's just one little change you need to make to log out each array item as the loop moves forward.

for (var i = 0; i < temperatures.length; i += 1) {
  console.log(temperatures[i]);
}

Notice the [i] appended to the end the temperatures value. This now takes the value of i and calls the appropriate item in the array. I hope that helps.

:dizzy:
