Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 26,281 PointsMy solution is good aswell? I dont use the let before the for loops, but only inside the for loops. is that ok?
let html = '';
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
let red = Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
let green = Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
let blue = Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
let randomRGB = `rgb( ${red}, ${green}, ${blue} )`;
html += `<div style="background-color: ${randomRGB}">${i}</div>`;
}
document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = html;
is that ok too? cause I see that Guil is still using the vars outside the for loops, and I dont understand if its necessary. thanks in advance

Declaring the variables inside the loop will do the same job, but they will be disposed and then re-created for each iteration, using a bit more processor time. But since the loop is simple and short, the difference won't be noticed.
