Tell us what’s happening:
I copy the code in the example but the result in my console is different based on the example.

// console output
1
2
3
4

Your code so far

const ourArray = [];

for (let i = 10; i > 0; i -= 2) {
 console.log( ourArray.push(i));
}

the output here is the result of the push function
so you will see the size of the array being printed out
1 when you have one thing
2 when you have 2 things in the array etc.

this is my output in odd
const myArray = [ ];

for (let i = 9; i > 0; i -= 2) {
console.log( myArray.push(i));
}

// running tests
// tests completed
// console output
1

What is in your arry? Is it what is required?

5

Push the odd numbers from 9 through 1 to myArray using a for loop.

But the console output is 1,2,3,4,5. It is not outputing 9, 7, 5, 3, 1

6

you are not logging the array…
you are logging the output of the push which is just the length of the array

ah I see
I get it now
