1. Because:

• The shell is unresponsive, and users must view console logs via their browser dev tools.
• Three within the top 5 comments (on the unforked Repl) mention this problem, so it is a fairly common issue.

2. This PR:

• Proposed edit would append the following to line 52: "and you will need to use your browser's developer tools in order to check the console."

You'll have to create a free replit account and fork the file to access the console. You can only run the unforked file, you can't access it's console.

Hi @SauravJalui, thanks for your response, but your assumption was incorrect.

I already had a Replit account, and I already forked the file; then I realized none of the results were logging in the shell. I didn't realize the shell is supposed to function as the console.

I will revise my PR to reflect this more accurate wording of the issue: the shell is unresponsive, and users must view console logs via their browser dev tools.

I've attached a short screen recording illustrating the problem, and I also uploaded it to youtube (in case anyone is uncomfortable downloading videos from strangers):

Edit: I urge you to fork and compare exercise 2 to exercise 4--both have a shell, but exercise 4 shows a console tab which actually displays printed messages. This console tab does not exist in exercise 2, and despite my best efforts, I have been unable to figure out a way to make it display. I think it has to do with the fact that exercise 2 is a different type of repl than exercise 4: EX 2 is for html5, js, css; EX 4 is for js.

I am still a novice, and I apologize if my (potentially) flawed understanding of shell/console makes this confusing.

@kdevay while opening the actual browser devtools does work, the experience is a bit better when you open the developer tools within replit, which you can do using the button in the below screenshot:

I agree that this isn't clear at the moment though, could you update your suggestion here to point users to that button? Once you've done that I think this will be good to go in.

@wise-king-sullyman thanks for the clarification! I updated my PR following your suggestion. Hopefully my language is clear enough.
