Its asking for the begin command.. Is consle.log not the correct one?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script src= "app.js"></script>

  </body>
</html>

Hi Bryan Valdez

You're on the right track. There are just two issues.

  1. There is a spelling error in the command. You are missing an "o" in console.log.
  2. The message to be printed is explicitly stated in the instructions to be "Begin program" not "This message will print to the console." --Challenges are very specific and instructions always need to be followed exactly or you will get the Bummer message.

Once you fix those up, you're good to go.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
