## Description
<section id='description'>

For loops are declared with three optional expressions separated by semicolons: `for ([initialization]; [condition]; [final-expression])`. 

The initialization statement is executed only one time before the loop starts and is often used to define and set up the loop variable. Think of it like declaring a variable to use as a counter in your `for` loop.

Many `for` loops use `i` as an initializer and start from 0, so change `let x = 1;` to `let i = 0;`.
