Prompt Sync Failure

Get Help JavaScript
#1

I am trying to do whale talk project but getting a input from user itself. Someone please help. I am trying to run the program via node.js from the terminal in VS code.

I have also installed npm install prompt-sync

anybody know about the prompt sync and how to use it in node.js? I keep getting the following error:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:883
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module ‘prompt.sync’

Hi @sayantanbasu89391652
did you import it to your module like this: const prompt = require('prompt-sync')(); ?
