VSCODE not showing javascript fuction console.logs-CodePudding

I've just started learning JavaScript and I'm following some online tutorials, this is what the tutorial has on vscode:

function countdown() {
    console.log(5)
    console.log(4)
    console.log(3)
    console.log(2)
    console.log(1)
}

console.log(countdown)

and it works fine, but on mine it will not work, this is what it returns:

[Running] node "c:\Users\jmont\OneDrive\dev_prog\javascript\index.js" [Function: countdown]

[Done] exited with code=0 in 0.152 seconds

I have node.js installed, and I have code runner extension as well

CodePudding user response：

Call the function:

console.log(countdown())

Right now you are only passing a reference to the function.

CodePudding user response：

You need to call the function by adding the parentheses in order for it to print what you want it to.

console.log(countdown())

this will give the desired output
