can I test a javascript function using node.js

Question

I suppose node.js allows us to test javascript code outside a browser. I am trying to test this function using node.js.

file print.js

var a = {
    someProperty: 1
}

function printObject(){
    process.stdout.write("hello: ",a);
}

When I try to run the above code as node print.js, nothing gets printed on the console. Why?

You would have to call the function like `printObject()`. You have just declared the function — AbhinavD, Apr 30 '18 at 05:26
