I don know what to write to print this command. I do think that the vide prepared me enough this practice exercise.

Was there instructions in the video on how to do something like this?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>  .(Begin Program)
document.write("Welcome to JavaScript Basics");

</script>
</body>
</html>

The instructions say to " print 'Begin program' to the browser's JavaScript console". Here's a couple of hints:

  • the nave of the function that does this is "console.log"
  • what you want to print is a string, so the words should be enclosed in quotes

Thank you Steven. I figured it out. I had to put console.log();
