It’s telling me to run these things to the console, is it supposed to edit the web page i’m looking at? It’s not actually doing anything so how do i know if i’m getting the answers right besides looking up the answer?
Hi there,
I am trying to help, but im not clear about where exactly are you having problems. Did you mean maybe the exercise number 9?
Best,
Peter
Hello @plantfood, hope you are great.
I guess you mean the practice exercises, https://academy.ivanontech.com/products/javascript-programming-for-blockchain-developers/categories/1707746/posts/12729215
Please confirm that you are referring to those one, because honestly I do not understand quite well to which lesson you are talking about. 
If you have any more questions, please let us know so we can help you!
