How to take user input in JS?

Question

Ok so I was learning with the sololearn "Introduction to JavaScript" course.
Unlike other coding language courses I completed they never taught me how to take user input ( yes i know stuff like <textarea> and <input> in HTML but i want the input method in JS )
In the practice thingys that are at the end of every lesson i sometimes see that they use "let variable = readLine();" to take input but when i try it on the code playground it says that readLine wasn't defined.

So what? Is there a system to take input through a popup just like C++ and python? And what about the readLine()? And how can i use them?

Answer 1

Have you tried using the search bar or doing a simple google search for the syntax?

Answer 2

Justice no, now i found the answer... i really forgot google was a thing 💀
So it is something like " let variable = prompt('hello world'); "

Yasin Rahnaward Thanks for letting me know what's up with the readLine().

It is easy.
If you want to use the user input in the same site watch this video,

You will pretty much get the idea.

If you want to send input to other files you would need to learn how modules in JS work. For that have a look at this,
