Understanding the Differences between the freeCodeCamp and Browser Console?

Tell us what’s happening:
hi i dont understand why this wont go through. it is saying that i am not using .clear correctly but it shows it only going through once.

Your code so far


// Open your browser console
let outputTwo = "This will print to the browser console 2 times";
// Use console.log() to print the outputTwo variable
console.log(outputTwo);

let outputOne = "Try to get this to log only once to the browser console";
// Use console.clear() in the next line to print the outputOne only once
console.clear(outputOne);

// Use console.log() to print the outputOne variable
console.log(outputOne);

console.clear() does not take an argument. It always clears the whole console.

Just remove the “outputOne” from the .clear() , it is not needed.
