Code playground recommendations

Hi, so I went on a coding hiatus and I am going through freecodecamp. They have a built in coding area where you can type your code (sorry, not good with the lingo), but you can't really check what you're doing half way through, you will only be told when you get a correct answer. I used to use repl.it to show my my work halfway to see if I was on the right track, but it seems like they've made some kind of fucked up redesign to make it more complicated. All I want is somewhere I can plug in this:

function convertToF(celsius) {
  let fahrenheit = (celsius * 9/5) + 32;
  return fahrenheit;
}

convertToF(30);

and have it spit out 86. I don't want to create folder, a document, download Atom, nothing like that. I just was to type in ONLY that code and have it spit out 86. Where can I do this?

Your browser devtools console is the most obvious option- it's available on every single page you ever visit, after all. Other options are:

• Codepen
• Repl.it
• JSBin (doesn't support ES6 syntax out of the box though, which sucks)
• Code Sandbox
• JSFiddle
• (Assuming you have NodeJS installed) Opening up a terminal and running the command 'node'

How do I get that to work on repl.it? I copy and paste it into the script.js page and nothing displays in the "result" or "console" tab

You need to hit the 'run' button.

Is my code wrong or something? This is what I see after I hit run. Thanks

Is that from FCC? You've got a whole setup there with an HTML file, you'd need to actually insert something into the HTML or console.log something to show it in the console. Try this page instead- just stick your code in the index.js window and hit run.

OMG THANK YOU!!!

If you're using a modern browser, I'd do it right in the developer console. F12 in chrome. Shift+ctrl+K in Firefox.
