JavaScript JavaScript Loops Working with 'for' Loops Create a for Loop

Creating a for loop counting to 100

I'm slightly confused the code is saying it should count to 100 from 5, it looks like its doing that already.

script.js 
for ( let counter = 5; counter <= 100; counter++ ) {
 console.log(`The number is ${counter}`); 
}

I did exactly that and I still get this message: "Bummer: The console should display 5 the first time through the loop and 100 the last time."

UPDATE: I had to change 'console.log (${i});' to 'console.log (i);' and it worked.

I did the same thing and also got "Bummer: The console should display 5 the first time through the loop and 100 the last time." ... I tested it in my console and it seems to run fine? Not sure where to go from here...

for ( let i = 5; i <= 100; i++) {
 console.log (`${i}`);
}
