Courses Plus Student 495 PointsWhere does the console.log function belong in a .html file?
I think this was explained rather as a side note? It didn't seem important.

<script>
console.log('this is a test');
</script>
If you wanted to see what was inside of a variable:
<script>
var name = 'Joshua Eagle';
console.log(name);
</script>
