is coding case sensitive?

[vic-st]

Hey @core9622614179!
JavaScript definitely is. For example, if you define the variable name then you can’t access it by using Name or NAME. Same thing with console.log and all the other statements.

Which computer coding language(s) are being utilized for these exercises/projects?

Hello! I just started Codecademy and I can not get passed the second part because the box is blocking the text that i need to write so i need some help with that.

Please attach a screenshot, as the exercise works fine and there is nothing blocking the code editor.

This seems to be a connection issue. Please see the following articles for assistance.

Troubleshooting Guide

There are a number of things you can try if you are having trouble loading, viewing, or submitting exercises. Reload the web page This takes care of a majority of problems. Check your Internet connection. We recommend that you have a reasonably fast connection to the internet. Any broadband connection, like DSL or cable, should be sufficient. If you are at work or school or using a shared wireless network, there may be a firewall or proxy that is interfering with your connection to Codecademy…

i’ve tried but still the same problem, even adding the suggested pages to the whitelist on google

[victoria-dr]

It’s working fine for me, have you tried looking at your internet connection or clearing your cache?

[nicolasg.4282455780]

problem solved, wrong browser configuration, thanks for your time

[design2111741353]

Hello,
Its my first time been on this platform. May I ask, how do I get started? This is what the instruction stated ‘The center panel contains a code file which is running in the browser panel on the right. Move your mouse cursor over the letters in the browser panel to animate them’.

Click the ‘Next’ button when you’re ready to dive in and start coding!

But it not happening for me. Please any advise?
Thanks
Audrey

Welcome to the forums!

You can see that the learning environment is split into three sections. The leftmost section is where you can find instructions and information, like the text you posted above. The middle section is where you can find and write code (it is a code editor). The rightmost section, in this case, displays the result of the code in the middle section.

Just to play around and see what the code can do, you can move your mouse cursor (without clicking) over the letters in the rightmost section. See what happens!

After you’ve done and understood all this, click Next to move on.
