I've been coding for a week and I'm stuck on my online assigment where they want me to create a button that displays a text in console.log when I click on it. Been at it for 3 hours now checking different forums, youtube videos and topics but can't find a specific "simple" answer. Can anyone help me out?

• 1 Wele, to improve your experience on SO please read about How to ask a good question in the help center. The idea is for you to try to get something to work and then e here with specific problems you are unable to resolve. Your question lacks any attempt at solving this problem on your own. Also consider obligations before asking. – Randy Casburn Commented Dec 5, 2021 at 19:54

• 2 Always rely on the very good MDN Documentation for all things HTML, CSS and JavaScript. For example, here are some examples – Randy Casburn Commented Dec 5, 2021 at 19:56
