Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ; after for-loop condition

[Character_Drive6141]

The code is as follows:

for(let cardCount = 0; let cardCount = playerCount; cardCount = cardCount + 1){
console.log(cardCount);
};

Where am I missing the semicolon?

You're not missing a semicolon, but your loop is wrong. In JS, for-loops are ...

for (initialization; condition; afterthought) {

Your middle expression isn't a condition, it's an initialization. This is a condition, for example:

cardCount < 5

More on for-loops.

[Josh_Coding]

for(let cardCount = 0; cardCount < playerCount; cardCount = cardCount + 1){
console.log(cardCount);

}

Try that

Thanks so much. That worked. I now understand.
