4,271 PointsThe error message is not relevant to the variables and what is asked on the exercise.
Challenge task 2 says: Review the code in app.js. Use the appropriate console method to print out the details object.
I changed the app.js to match the request, the code is below:
const name = "Andrew"; const details = { favouriteLanguage: "JavaScript", age: 33, children: 3 } const errorMessage = "Something bad has occurred"; console.log(name); console.log(details);
After checking work I've got the following error:
Bummer: You didn't write dir
method on the console
object anywhere in your code.
Which is possibly outdated as doesn't match the "details" variable, still showing "dir" according to the lesson video example. Cannot move forward now.
const name = "Andrew";
const details = { favouriteLanguage: "JavaScript", age: 33, children: 3 }
const errorMessage = "Something bad has occurred";
console.log(name);
console.log(details);

I think they want you to use the console.dir
method, instead of console.log
. Remember there are quite some methods on the console-object like console.warning("I am a warning")
and console.error("I am an error")
.
In this case I think they want you to use console.dir
which prints the details of the object you pass to it.
