Understanding the Differences between the freeCodeCamp and Browser Console: need help

[Dreadbeard]

So I am able to open up the console and type in the requirements but when I try to run the tests all I accomplish is " You should use console.clear() to clear the browser console" and none of the other checks pass.

I’m very confused because i think I’m doing everything the right way.

Edit you post and add your code here don't remove the backticks

You deleted all of the code from this post, so it’s really hard for us to say what’s happening.

[Dreadbeard]

the only code is "let output = “Get this to show once in the freeCodeCamp console and not at all in the browser console”;

[JeremyLT]

So you aren’t using console.log or console.clear? That’s probably the problem.

[Dreadbeard]

I did both of those in the browser console & in the freecodecamp console & nothing happened either time.

[JeremyLT]

What is your code with console.log and console.clear? The challenge won’t pass without those lines.

You have to write it in the code not in the real console

[Dreadbeard]

Thank you for your patience with helping me. I tried originally console.log and then underneath console.clear.

What fixed the problem was console.log(output) followed by console.clear. I forgot to include the (output) portion.

Thanks very much, I apologize for wasting your time.
