You do not need to modify the document.write("Welcome to JavaScript Basics"); line at all. You got the first part of the challenge correct. You pretty much just copy that exact line for part 2 and change the word begin to end.

<script>
  console.log('Begin program');
  document.write("Welcome to JavaScript Basics");
  console.log('End program');
</script>

In your script, each statement is going to require a new line. You are not going to be writing to the document and the console in the same statement. You want to separate each statement out with a new line. You can't use a comma to combine two statements.

Hi Virginia,

In the beginning it is easier if you put only one instruction per line.

Think of document.write being one instruction and console.log another instruction.

First you write the document.write instruction

document.write("Welcome to JavaScript Basics");

And then you write the next instruction on the next line

console.log("End program");

so you end up with:

<script>
console.log("Begin program");
document.write("Welcome to JavaScript Basics");
console.log("End program");
</script>

At the end of the script (after alert()), add the code required to print 'End program' to the browser's JavaScript console.

<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>JavaScript Basics</title> </head> <body> <script src="appjs.js"> console.log("Begin program"); document.write("Welcome to JavaScript Basics"); console.log("End program"); </script> </body> </html>

console.log ("Begin program"); alert ("I am Programming!"); document.write ("Welcome to JavaScript Basics"); console.log("End program");

I sure can use some help!
