JavaScript Node.js Basics (2014) Introduction to Node.js The Console

what is dir

Sometimes printing out one line won't do.

On a new line, use the dir method on the console object to print out the details variable

app.js
var name = "Andrew";
var details = { favouriteLanguage: "JavaScript", age: 31, children: 2.4 } 
var errorMessage = "Something bad has occurred";
console.log(name);
console.log(details);

Challenge is asking you to use dir method, instead of the log method. You have to use that...

console.dir(details);

Thanks so much
