JavaScript Foundations

Lesson 1: Your First Code

Welcome. We are starting from scratch with Node.js, variables, and console.log.

Learning Goals

Run JavaScript with Node.js.
Use console.log to print output.
Create your first variable with let.

Example

When we write this, we mean we are saving text inside a variable and printing it.

// Save as lesson1.js
let message = "Hello, Patricia";
console.log(message);

Tip: Run node lesson1.js in your terminal.

Practice

Create a variable called name and store your name.
Create a variable called city and store your city.
Print both values using console.log.
