Tell us what’s happening:
Hey everyone, trying to understand what’s wrong with my code. I’ve tried placing some log messages and I’ve realized that the result variable is not getting updated. I haven’t completely finished the Javascript lessons yet, so maybe I’m missing some sort of super useful function, but could someone explain why my current code isn’t working?

Your code so far

function convertToRoman(num) {
  let result = '';
  const roman = ['M', 'CM', 'D', 'CD', 'C', 'XC', 'L', 'XL', 
  'X', 'IX', 'V', 'IV', 'I'];
  const arabic = [1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40,
  10, 9, 5, 4, 1]; 
  for (let i = 0; i > arabic.length; i++) {
    while (num >= arabic[i]) {
      result += roman[i];
      num -= arabic[i];
    } 
  } return result;
} 
  
convertToRoman(36);

Are you sure about that?

Wow. That’s what I get for coding while I’m tired
