Did you try clicking 'Get Hints' in the challenge as suggested?

Yes. The Hints were

  1. Use console.log to print messages to the browser's JavaScript console.

  2. console.log("This message will print to the console!");

This is the error message i am getting after submitting consol.log("Begin program"); to the app.js file

"There was an error with your code: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: consol"

You are close. That is all you need in app.js for task 2. However there is an e at the end of console.

console.log("Begin program");
