Welcome to the community, @TathagataBhatt2!
Try adding semicolons (;) to the end of all of your lines of code. In JavaScript this is proper syntax and can cause unnecessary errors.

Hey @TathagataBhatt2!

Could you try this?

Not able to use prompt in replit for js

Adding const prompt = require('prompt-sync')(); to the very beginning of the program fixed it for me.

@Not able to use prompt in replit for js

const prompt = require(‘prompt-sync’)();

Thank You… It Worked!!!

In JavaScript this is proper syntax and can cause unnecessary errors.

As a JS developer, no, that was not required at all. This would do absolutely nothing. And I’m pretty sure that no semicolons usually wouldn’t cause a REFERENCE error…probably a syntax error or EOF or something

Try readline-sync and then using readline.question
