My node let_const.js does not work at all.

My node let_const.js does not work at all.

I tried to reopen it, tried with multi browser. Still did not work. Anyone knows how to fix it :(

p/s: I only have problems towards command named "node let_const.js" as I want to know how to use it/what is wrong with mine.

Please use treehouse workspace at the beginning or do an basic index.html file like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Practice Let and Const in JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="let_const.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

I knew how to make it run offline with IDE and browsers.

And I do use the workspace. It just do not work, still. I had same problems occasionally while running command "node someFileName.js" That is why I am curious what is wrong and how could I fix it.

It should work if you're running it locally using Node, but keep in mind anything you want outputted to the console you'll need to use console.log

Thanks for your answer but I do not have problems with the file or the console.

The only concern I have is the "node let_const.js" do not work on my workspace. I am looking what is wrong and how to fix it.

I'd have to direct your issue to TeamTreeHouse's technical support as that is something the community cannot answer for you, unfortunately. Also, take a look at Adam Beer's response regarding using the workspace at the beginning of that course segment.
