Hi prodigy. Javascript can be written anywhere, it is just a bunch of text. You can write it on paper, in a text editor, in a textbox on a web browser - short answer is you can write it anywhere. How do you run the javascript that is so written then ? You run it in a place that has a Javascript engine. All browsers have it, so you can run your javascript code in browsers. You can also run it using a software called ‘node’, which allows you to run javascript programs using command line. To conclude , you will often write code inside a .js or .html file (using any editor. If all the different tools are confusing for you right now, try notepad). FCC’s cirriculum will help you out. If you have any questions, feel free to DM. ---
