No clue as to why this will not work. Clearly I have no idea what I'm doing. Don't even know how to search to see if this was asked prior.\r\n\r\nHere's my code typed in Atom on a Mac:\r\n\r\nvar example = 'some string';\r\nconsole.log(example);\r\n\r\nI do have a file (in Atom) called \"variables.js\" in a directory known as javascripting. When I type \"javascripting verify variables.js\" I get:\r\n\r\n# O-oh, something isn't working.\r\n\r\n# But don't panic!\r\n\r\n-------------------\r\n## Check your solution:\r\n\r\nSolution\r\n===================\r\n\r\nsome string\r\n\r\n\r\nYour Attempt\r\n===================\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDifference\r\n===================\r\n\r\nsome string\r\n\r\n\r\n## Additional troubleshooting:\r\n\r\n- Did you type the name of the file correctly? You can check by running ls variables.js, if you see ls: cannot access variables.js: No such file or directory then you should create new file / rename existing or change directories to the one with file\r\n- Make sure you didn't omit parens, since otherwise compiler would not be able to parse it\r\n- Make sure you didn't do any typos in the string itself\r\n\r\n\r\nNeed help?

I am not sure what do you mean by atom, do you mean the text editor? If yes then I don't know how it is executing maybe its creating its own virtual console in graphical mode and claiming the string you are outputting.\r\n\r\ntl;dr: try it through console."}}
