Not sure what I'm doing wrong but i keep getting the error message below after running localhost:3000/different/33 or any number to test the different/:id route.
'use strict';
const express = require('express'); const app = express();
//app.use for the middleware app.use('/', (res,req,next) => { console.log('First Middleware') next(); })
app.use('/different/:id', (res,req,next) => { console.log("Second Middleware ID:", req.params.id) next(); })
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, () => { console.log('running on', port); })
