console.log() prints; open the browser console to see it.

What you are building

The task in front of you: Which call prints to the console?.

The editor already holds a working starting point. Do not delete it and start again — read it, change one thing, run it, and watch which check moves. That loop is the whole method.

Why this matters

You are inside the section “Basics” of the JavaScript Essentials track. Everything in this section builds towards the section project, and this task is one of the pieces that project leans on.

In real work nobody marks your code — it either runs or it does not, and someone is waiting for the result. The checks here are deliberately strict about output, because a program that prints the right thing in the wrong shape fails in the real world too.

The key idea

JavaScript runs one statement at a time in the console, then keeps the page alive for the next event. Values you log are the only honest record of what your program actually did.

Braces group statements and semicolons end them. When the console shows an unexpected value, log it one line earlier — the bug is almost never where it first appears.

Two mistakes to avoid

  • Logging an object and expecting to see its text. The console shows a collapsed object; log a property (or JSON.stringify) when the check wants a value.
  • Using = where you meant === inside an if. The first assigns, the second compares, and only one of them behaves the way you expect.

What the automatic checks look for

The right-hand column runs 1 check every time you press Run code. Nothing is hidden:

  • The output has to contain “js:expect(window.__log.j…”.

Task

Which call prints to the console?

The editor already contains a starting point. Change it until every check passes — the Next task button unlocks when it does.

Stuck? The Hint button at the bottom nudges you one step without handing over the answer — that is on purpose: an exercise you copied teaches nothing.
