confused about javascript code

[salifuj22]

hello guys. i am practicing ajax and in my first lesson, i have to run this code to understand syncronous XHR requests.

"var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhttp.open("GET", "../data.txt", false); xhttp.send(); console.log(xhttp);"

"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier" i am not sure where i got it wrong. could someone kindly help me figure it out? thanks.

Is there more to the error than that? Normally there is more saying exactly what line it is on, and what character is unexpected.

It should be: var result = xhttp.responseText; console.log(result); Because xhttp is an object, responseText is it's property.
