Ikechukwu Francis , If you aim to use the prompt and use the result in some way, don't forget to consider that the result of a prompt is of string type (even if you enter a number). So if you need the user to enter a number to use it in a calcul, you will have to convert it as a number type first. You can either use : let userInput = Number(prompt("enter a number :"); Or let userInput = +prompt("enter a number :"); Or keep the string type and convert the result later, same ways let userInput = prompt("enter a number :"); let userNumber= Number(userInput); or let userNumber = +userInput;

There are lots of way you can take input from user but the simplest way is using prompt method Example let a = prompt();

You simply store that value in some variable Example let a = prompt() console.log(a)

Use prompt( )for getting user input Var text=prompt ( ) console.log(text ) Prints whatever user enters
