Need help getting started.

[vijaybritto]

Hello,
Im completely new to this, just tell how to get going for the first hello world question.
Please post the answer here. I have done the following but I just get only errors.

module.exports= function(input){
var input="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet";
var out = input.toUpperCase();
console.log(out);

}
I get some "expected ..." errors.
What should I do?

you don't need to supply the input to the exported function, the workshop will pass it in.

Try this to get started:

// input is passed into the exported function
module.exports= function(input) {
  console.log(input) 
}

Then try your solution:

> functional-javascript-workshop run myfile.js

Let me know if this helps

I get this now. The lower one is the latest after trying as you said.

[timoxley]

you get it, as in your understand?

I just console logged the input. The text in red is what it should look like. The goal of each exercise is to make the green text look like the red text.
