jQuery - ''Uncaught TypeError" while executing "animate"

I was trying out some jQuery examples given in this website. One such example was scrolling back to the top of the page using "animate". Accordingly, I tried this in the console:

$("html, body").animate({scrollTop:0}, "slow");

But I got an error such as this:

VM54:1 Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'animate' on 'Element': duration must be non-negative or auto. at :1:17 (anonymous) @ VM54:1

I even tried giving positive values for scrollTop. But this error occurs. What is the workaround for this issue?

The site you are running the code on either doesn't include jQuery, or has a version of jQuery that doesn't support that code. $ is not universally jQuery, it can be any variable.

If you, for example, go to jquery.com and run that same code in the console, it will work.
