I don't quite understand your question. At what time point in the video do you see what you are asking about?

If you're asking about him moving to the bottom part of the worspace, which is called the console by the way, it is so that we can open up the REPL. This cannot be done using the code editor on the top. I am assuming what the REPL is and what it does has been explained to you in a previous video., but feel free to reply to this if you have any questions

i think that is what our fellow programmer is asking that was a good explanation

writing code is a two way process that is there is the the code you write which makes the input part of the process then you have to see what has been produced by what you have written which is the output and hence our workspace is also made up of two parts the text editor and the console
