Not getting any output with Javascript code

Question

I need some help with this problem.

Exercise:

My Code so far.

 var a = 399;  
 var b = 8;

 for (i = 0; i < 13; i++) {  
   a += b; 
 }
 ANSWER = a;

When I run it I don't get any output.

What should I do in order to get the output?

What's the error? The code demonstrably works: https://jsfiddle.net/hepjc6k0/ — David, Nov 23 '16 at 13:53
wait, `ANSWER` is nothing... you can create a variable like done for a and b, or make a console.log(a) instead of ANSWER = a; — GiuServ, Nov 23 '16 at 13:56
@oliverBergman: Something else must be wrong. This code works exactly as expected. What specifically do you mean by "I don't get any answer"? — David, Nov 23 '16 at 13:56
@oliverBergman you must use an output method to see the answer like alert or console log or element.html() — Mojo Allmighty, Nov 23 '16 at 13:56
solved it! thank you, sometimes you just need another pair of eyes ;) — oliver Bergman, Nov 23 '16 at 14:01

Your code is fine, and in order to output the result, add this after the for loop:

Display in browser console

console.log(a);

Display a blocking alert

alert(a);

Here's a demo with alert():

var a = 399;
var b = 8;

for (i = 0; i < 13; i++) {  
  a += b; 
}

alert(a); // output it

You can use alert() to create a popup in the browser, or you can use console.log() to output to the browser's console.

 var a = 399;  
 var b = 8;

 for (i = 0; i < 13; i++) {  
   a += b; 
 }
alert(a);
console.log(a);
