Q: getting int from User Javascript EDIT >> readline is not working, getting this message in the terminal "ReferenceError: readline is not defined"
Javascript noob here
I'm writing a program where I am trying to get an int from the user. I know how to do this usually within a HTML document however nothing is working within the .js file which I am running in the terminal of my linux machine.
for instance I want to say 
console.log("enter your number");
//code that collects the int named var yourint
console.log ("your number was " + yourint);

It's really battering my brain, because I know I'm just drawing a blank and the solution is obvious.

A: console.log is outputs a message to a web console not a shell
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Console/log
if you are using js24 in linux it will throw an error like
typein:1:0 ReferenceError: console is not defined

you might want to use print
example
var input=readline('enter your number');
print('your number was '+input)
