Why am I getting a different console screen output from the instructor's?

I'm on the lesson "Introducing Variables: JavaScript Basics." As far as I can tell, I typed into the JS file exactly what Guil did. But on my console, I get an error message, while he does not.

I have a screenshot showing a side-by-side of the editor and another showing a side-by-side of the console, but can't see how to attach them to this question. Maybe I will be able to do that after posting this question (?).

Anyway, what I'm wondering is: Is it normal that I am getting a different result? If not, what am I doing incorrectly?

You can copy and paste your code, using the suggested formatting Markdown Cheatsheet to copy and paste your code, as well as the error you're receiving to help you find out the problem
