For the first stage, when it asks you to use the log method on the console object, you'll need to call the method using dot notation. You're printing out the name variable, so use that as the argument.
console.log(name);
That should get you started, but let me know if you have any more questions.

If you're working in Workspaces, it's talking about the console in Workspaces. The console is at the bottom of the Workspace window. If it is not visible, in the Workspace menu bar View > Show Console.

Courses Plus Student 24,223 PointsHey. If you are referring to the challenge, it wants you to log it out to the console, as a massage. the console object has several methods that can be used on it, like feks "console.log". for more information see the following Link
var name = "Andrew";
var details = { favouriteLanguage: "JavaScript", age: 31, children: 2.4 }
var errorMessage = "Something bad has occurred";
console.log(name)
console.dir(details)
console.error(errorMessage)
