Uncaught ReferenceError: Console is not defined (?!)

I'm trying to use myscript.js within a basic website ("Programming.html") that is in the same directory. In the console, "Uncaught ReferenceError Console is not defined" is the message I get.

Below is the source code for myscript.js, and Programming.html, respectively - please let me know if I need to format either differently to allow others to see it.Thanks!

'''Console.log("Hello from myscript.js");'''

'''<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<html lang="en"> <head> <title>Javascript Practice</title>

<style> html {
background: #FAFAFA;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
</style>
<script src="myscript.js"></script>

</head>

<body> <h1>Introduction to Programming</h1> <h2>Using Javascript</h2>

</body> </html>'''

Javascript is case sensitive. The proper command should look like:

console.log("Hello from myscript.js");
