54,972 PointsYou are only logging 2 to 22. You need to include 24.

54,972 PointsA while loop executes while a condition is true (in this case even < 24). With your code once even = 24 the condition is no longer met. You can fix it with a condition of even <=24 or even < 25. Either one will pass the challenge.
If you would like to see an alternative try the first example here
What console are you using?

813 Pointsactually, those will print 26.

2,656 PointsYour last console.log will be 22 after that you have incremented the number by 2 which will mean the variable even is now 24.
Your conditional statement is then saying is 24 less than 24 and because It isn't less, it's the same the loop stops running because it only runs if the condition is true.
