Welcome to the forum!

The good news is that your code is fine.
The bad news is that there’s currently an issue with the console updating.

Until it’s fixed, there is an easy workaround however:

  1. Copy your code
  2. Refresh the page (CTRL+F5)
  3. Paste your code

You should now be able to submit your code and pass the challenge.

Thank you for responding! I did realise this in the end! I also realised I can move to the next step without having completed the previous one - win, win!
