I noticed that you used the alert function but I was wondering if you could use the document.write function?

I'm not sure which point in the Javascript course you're at, so here's a quick overview:
alert("message here") - will pop up a separate alert window
console.log("message here") - will print the message to your terminal/console
document.write("message here") - will insert the message onto the actual html page
If you're asking for a specific test/quiz, you'll have to do it how Treehouse wants, but for your own use you can use whichever method you prefer or need.
Cheers,
Mike

You can always use console.log() to write out to console (developer tools). Personally I don't use document.write as it messes up with your content on the page.
Thanks, Bogdan
