First, don't feel bad, this lesson's instructions are kind of confusing. You can skip to what you need if you want. 4 Posts: 1.) Explaining For Loops 2.) Exercise 5/7's if statement 3.) Exercise 5/7's inner loop 4.) Exercise 5/7's push statement 1.) First you need to understand how for loops work. For loops are really useful for doing something over and over.
