It's hard to tell in this scenario since you're typing things directly into your browser's console, it's hard to share exactly what you've typed / what you're seeing for us to further examine it.

I just tested doing this and it worked on my end.

document.write("<h1>Welcome to my web page.</h1>");

I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's not a commonly used JavaScript command and if I remember correctly, it's not used any further, it was just demonstrated in this video as an example.

Normally you would want to target an element in the document and adjust it's content with something else like

document.body.innerHTML += "<h1>Welcome to my web page.</h1>";

You'll learn all of this soon though, I'd say keep pushing forward 👍
