For loops can skip numbers. For example, 'for i : 0..100 by 2' will only iterate over even numbers. It counts by 2's. Think you can take advantage of this to solve the problem?

[5pretty]

for i: 60..160 by 4
put i
end for

like that?

Did you try it?

[5pretty]

Yes I tried it and I got numbers starting from 68 by 4s until 160...

The top lines got erased because there are too many lines to show.

You could avoid using a new line for each number or change the view settings with View.Set.

But how do I come up with the code first? Multiplies of 4s

[Insectoid]

It's been a while, but I think View.Set ("text") will give you a scroll bar so you can see all of the numbers.

[5pretty]

but is

for i: 60..160 by 4
put i
end for

correct to find the multiples in the first place?

[Dreadnought]

Try adding View.Set("text") to the top of your program like insectoid suggests and see what happens.

You can easily verify by hand if the numbers it gives you are correct. How will you ever know if the algorithm is correct if you don't even know what the correct values are?
