how do i pass name to the console log

i'm getting an error on my code that says i'm not passing name to my console log. I'm not sure what it's asking me to do.

app.js
console.log("Hello World");
console.error("oops");
console.dir({ name: "andrew", age: 33 });
console.log({ name:  });
const name = "Andrew";
const details = { favouriteLanguage: "JavaScript", age: 33, children: 3 } 
const errorMessage = "Something bad has occurred";

Hi there,

you can use either string concatenation or template literal:

const name = "Andrew";
console.log('Name: ' + name);
console.log(`Name: ${name}`)

It just wants you to use the appropriate console method with the defined variables

const name = "Andrew";
const details = { favouriteLanguage: "JavaScript", age: 33, children: 3 } 
const errorMessage = "Something bad has occurred";
console.log(name);
console.dir(details);
console.error(errorMessage);
