I think that you need to rewrite this section

Yes, editing the code from the previous exercise generates an error. I had the same experience, until I eventually deleted the previous code and coded specifically for this exercise.

Note to Codecademy: this does need to be rectified. I’m sure I’m a lot of people, like me, may have wasted valuable time trying to figure out what they were doing wrong.

Either configure the console to accept changes to the code from the previous exercise or (even better), erase the code from the previous exercise.

Here’s my code for the exercise:

<?php
      // Write your for loop below!
      for ($i = 50; $i >=5; $i -= 5) {
          echo $i . " ";
      }
      ?>

That should work. That was what I used in my code and it worked just fine. Here is what I used:

I agree that Codecademy needs to get these bugs fixed! I am trying to learn the program not troubleshoot system errors.

This was being discussed a month ago - it should be resolved by now.

I think that I see the issue. When there is an error, the code needs to be reset. It will not run until it is reset. This includes errors from the previous question. You may need to work on your UI a little.

This is mine,

for($i=50;$i > 1; $i-=5){
          echo $i."<br>";
      }

:)

These buggy excercises are annoying and a really demotivating. That we’re not able to save a certain state of code (like in the past) and everything is done automatically (and wrong!) doesen’t help either … Here I had to copy and quickly hit the button to avoid the quick (and wrong!) error message which didn’t let me do anything to pass the test. :((

The code seems to run before pressing the submit button. For this reason, I created an infinite loop before I had the chance to finish writing my code. The solution was to write the code in an outside editor and then paste it in all at once.
