Courses Plus Student 4,510 PointsFor this challenge, where do you 'inspect' the page so that you can see the console.log message "Being program"?

231,184 PointsThe instructions ask you to print "Begin program" to the console. Note that the string has no punctuation in it. But the code above adds an exclamation sign, which the challenge is not expecting.
Also, the instructions did not ask for an alert. For best results with all challenges, do only what the instructions ask for. Doing other things (even if the code runs) can confuse the validator and cause the submission to fail.
