can I test a javascript function using node.js

Question

I suppose node.js allows us to test javascript code outside a browser. I am trying to test this function using node.js.

file print.js

var a = {
    someProperty: 1
}

function printObject(){
    process.stdout.write("hello: ",a);
}

When I try to run the above code as node print.js, nothing gets printed on the console. Why?

You would have to call the function like printObject(). You have just declared the function — AbhinavD
