Hello, World!

Your first program

Every programming language starts with the same step: printing text. In JavaScript you do this with console.log().

console.log("This is my first line of output")

What happens here?

• console is a built-in object for output
• .log() is the function that prints text
• The text must be wrapped in quotes — either "..." or '...'

You can also print multiple values separated by a comma:

console.log("Name:", "Alice")
// Output: Name: Alice

Your task

Set the greeting variable to "Hello, World!" — exactly that text, with an exclamation mark. The console.log line will then print it.
