Hi I started going over the Baic Algorithms Scirpts section and when working in FCC in browser editor I am trying to use console.log to debug my code, but it doesnt seem to print anything. what am i missing here? this also maked me wonder how other folks around the campfire work - are you using FCC editor or something extrernal, and what are my debug possibilities when working on html/js ( i know perl/c etc but not familiar with the web dev tools at all). Thanks. ---

Press `Ctrl + Shift + J` to open browser console. There you’ll see all your `console.log()` statements. ---

Thanks. indeed i know see these prints. another question - how can i execute just the code in the editor (that is the in browser editor). more specifically i want to debug a certain testcase - not run all of them - is this possible? ---

Hello, Hit f12 or right click, inspect element. Then choose console tab. That what you meant? Cheers Mark ---

You could use something like [https://repl.it/languages/javascript](https://repl.it/languages/javascript) or [http://jsbin.com](http://jsbin.com) ---

Thanks @jenovs @MARKJ78. so that helped me get through the task i’ve been trying to debug. now i know about the browser console and that there’s a website to coee and run JS (btw i dont see console reactions there), i have to wonder - is there a sublime text plugin to rule them all? ---

No (as far as I’m aware) , but there are whole js testing suits and libraries that integrate into your code. Can’t tell you anymore than that because I haven’t learned them yet! You can prob get a linting (syntax) plugin though. ---
