Why I can not write these javascript code into HTML, this is for "javascript array iteration method" course

Hi: Not want to skip node.js installation. I write the code in HTML, but when I open the console in Chrome, its all blank, but if I type straight into console. it works.

Below is the code <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Javscript iteration</title> <script type="Javscript">

    var prices = [6.75, 3.10, 4.00, 8.12],
        sum = 0;
    prices.forEach(function(price) {
        sum += price; 
    });
    console.log(sum);





</script>

</head> <body>

</body> </html>

You might try placing the script in the body instead of the head, the browser behavior regarding console log might be different for the sections.

Another thing you could try is rendering the result to the page instead of logging to the console (document.write(sum);).
