Bummer: Make sure you put `alert() `after `console.log()`. JavaScript Basics - Challenge 3 of 4.

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/javascript-basics/hello-javascript/write-javascript-statements It seems so easy and understandable, just add `alert("i am programming"); And that would be it, but it's not. Hope someone can help me with this challenge. It may be because I'm new to coding and don't see the fail that I have made.

Don't know how to add a screenshot here. My code is ``console.log("Begin program"); console.log("This message will print to the console!"); alert("I am Programming");´´´ And it's with thealert("I am Programming");´ I have the problem. It will either state that I didn't but alert() after console.log() or that I didn't but the I am Programming into the alert string.

The instructions ask for "an alert dialog with the message "I am Programming!"", but this code outputs "I am Programming" (without the exclamation point) instead.

Also, for best results with the challenges, don't do anything extra that the instructions don't ask for.

And when posting code to the forum, use Markdown formatting to preserve the appearance, or share the entire workspace by making a snapshot and posting the link to it.
