3,659 PointsAre we using node.js here?
When doing this challenge and writing in the console "node forLoops.js" is this an example of using node.js? I am new to javascript and always hear that node.js is a valuable skill! Just trying to work out what it actually is and when it is used! Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Node.js is a way of running JavaScript outside of the browser, for running scripts like this in your terminal, or for building complex server applications that connect to databases and handle authentication.
