Whats the issue?

Answer 1

You're running PowerShell, but Console.Log is not a PowerShell command — it's JavaScript-style syntax. PowerShell sees "Console.Log" as a command name and can't find it.

How to fix, depending on what you meant:

- If you want PowerShell output, use a PowerShell cmdlet:
- Write-Host "Yes"
Example:
if (1 + 2) { Write-Host "Yes" }

- If you meant JavaScript (console.log), run it in Node or a browser console:
- node -e "if (1 + 2) { console.log('Yes') }"

- If you meant .NET/C#:
- The method is Console.WriteLine, and C# code must be compiled/run in the right environment, e.g. inside a program. From PowerShell you can call the static .NET method:
if (1 + 2) { [Console]::WriteLine("Yes") }

Also note: numeric conditions are treated as truthy in JS and PowerShell (non-zero is true), but in C# an if needs a bool expression (so you'd write something like if (1 + 2 != 0) ...).
