Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 24,461 PointsApp will not run in the console
Hi, I'm having some issues running this app in the console itself. I'm entering "node weather.js" and a city but nothing happens, the prompt just reappears. I know it's probably a simple mistake, but I've been poring over it and can't quite find it. Help is much appreciated!

Also near the bottom the request.on('error'...) and the }) closing off the response call back are flipped from how they should be, which means the error handler isn't set until after the error would have occurred. I don't see any syntax error per se in the app.js file but you are a little inconsistent in your formatting, ending statements with a semi-colon or not (I recommend with) and indenting blocks consistently. The latter can be a great help in identifying nesting errors like you have here.

FYI - you have a syntax error in app.js and the console error shows the issue.
