Guys in my school are really busy,and they are asking to complete this exercise:

Build a function forLoop. It takes an array as an argument. Start counting from 0, and, using a for loop, add a string to the array 25 times. But not just any string. If your i value is 1, add the string “I am 1 strange loop.”; if your i value is anything else, add the string “I am ${i} strange loops.”. (Remember flow control with if and else? And how do we interpolate i?) Then return the array.

my code is this one:

function forLoop (array){  
for (let i = 0; i \< 25; i++) {  
if (i=== 0 ){  
console.log("I am 1 strange loop. ");

} else {  
console.log("I am ${i} strange loops. " );

}  
return array;  
}

}

I saw the first mistake,and it’s in the If statement i must be equal to 1,not to 0

"I am ${i} strange loops. " should be

```auto
`I am ${i} strange loops. `

```

“” you have to concat -\> “I am”+ i + “strange loops.”  
With ``, in ES6, make a string with a var is much easier, you can do

```auto
`I am ${i} strange loops. `

```

, so you only have to use ${} and set a var/const.
