Tell us what’s happening:
So, I was completely stumped by this question and decided to break my rules and go ahead and look for a hint, afterwards I got the right answer, but I still don’t understand why the hints worked, of course since this is a passing solution, I wrapped it in a Spoiler tag.
So, my main question is why does this code work? Can anyone give me a full explanation? Thanks
Note:
If you fear spoilers for the rest, feel free to DM me.
var ourArray = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i += 2) {
ourArray.push(i);
}
// Setup
var myArray = [];
// Only change code below this line.
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i += 2) {
myArray.push(i);
}

Well not really but I have a theory, I think it has something to do with the previous statements starting with 0. The altered version of the first for loop starts with 1 therefore 1+2=3 and 3+2=5, and so on?
I still don’t feel so confident so if anyone can give me extra tips and tricks it would be greatly appreciated.
“part one” is executed once, before the the loop body ever executes.
The variable i is created and initialized to 1.
“part two” is an expression that is checked before every iteration of the loop body. If it is truthy, the loop body executes. If it is falsy, the loop is done.
The loop stops as soon as i is greater than or equal to 10.
“part three” executes after each iteration of the loop body.
After every iteration, i is increased by 2.
