When declaring let, a console error is thrown (Uncaught SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations)

When I try and open person.html and use let, a console error is thrown (details below):

Navigated to http://port-80-qe2ysckz1w.treehouse-app.com/person.html person.html:14 Uncaught SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode

Don't know too much about Strict Mode, so if anyone can enlighten me then that would be appreciated :)

:x: You can't share a direct URL to your workspace, it's temporary and only exists while you are using it.

:information_source: But you can use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.

:point_right: Try enabling strict mode for your program.

To enable strict mode, just place this line at the top of your JavaScript code:

"use strict";
