Code playground's console.log cannot print '<' character?

Question

Why does the program cannot print '<' on console.og?
And the characters after '<' are disappear from console.log,
and the next console.log message is concatenated with the first console.log message (no more line break).

These console.log messages are working fine on browser console panel.

@Calvin I'm using mobile app version 1.3.3. Maybe a problem with desktop site C.Playground?

Answer 2

Erm, the < symbol shows on the console log for me.

Answer 3

On web browser the console object is bypassed by sololearn code playground and displayed as html content in the code playground page... so all things between '<' and '>' characters are interpreted as html tag ( and mostly ignored because almost not recognized tags )... you need to write '&lt;' for outputting "lighter than" char in console :P

Answer 4

You can suggest to Sololearn to make an update to the code playground page for escaping this character in their console treatment ;)

Answer 5

@Hatsy are you using phone or PC? I use Pc Chrome. My phone SL still not upgraded, insufficient memory 😓

Answer 6

I think so. Just like to confirm here.

Answer 7

Thanks for reply again @visph.
It's a bit cumbersome if the console.log does not reply all the characters fully especially when testing program is coded for text generation.

Answer 8

I just submitted a bug report to SL.
