Iterating backwards in Javascript with a For Loop

Question

I know this is a newbie question, but I need help with iterating backwards. My for loop problem is that I have to iterate backwards by 5 from 100. And I have to console.log all numbers excluding 0. This is what I have.

for(var i=100; i >= 0; i-=5)
    console.log(i);

Does anyone have any suggestions how to print out the iteration backwards without 0? Sorry if this is simple, I was having a real hard time with it.

So what is the question ? What is not working ?

If it´s excluding 0, it should be i > 0 instead of i >= 0

Were you truly unable to solve this problem on your own?

One suggestion : open your console and see in the result.

That seems straight forward:

for(var i=100; i > 0; i-=5) {
    console.log(i);
  }

Let me know if I've missed something you need

I think you have it, but you do need to remove the "=" from your expression. This is a different variation.

var i; 

for(i=100; i > 0; i-=5){
    console.log(i);
}
