        var mystring="hello world";
        console.log(mystring);

console.log() does not write on the webpage (for that you need document.write("your text here").

To view that text, make sure you enable and open "Developer tools" in firefox and go to the "console" tab. Refresh the page and you will see the text there!

For more info, please read https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Console/log
