Have the right code, but it wont run.

This code console logs numbers 5-100 but it wont let me pass it through ugh.

//! For Loop
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
   if (i < 5) {
      continue;
   }
   console.log(i);
}

Mod edit: added markdown for code readability. Check out the "markdown cheatsheet" linked below the comment box for syntax examples.

Hi Vincent,

Your code logs the numbers 5-99 since the condition of the for loop is "i < 100". If you change this to "i <= 100" then 100 will be included and you should be able to complete the challenge.

Hi Vincent,

Your solution is an interesting one, but it works great. Nice job. But it doesn’t actually log all 5-100.

app.js 
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) { 
  if (i < 5) { 
    continue; 
  } console.log(i); 
}

It logs 5-99. If you look close you’d probably figure this out on your own, but once i becomes 100, the i < 100 part of the for loop no longer evaluates to true, therefore the code in the code block isn’t executed, and i is not logged to the console.

That’s happened to me plenty of times.

Great work here! Keep it up, coder!
