I apologize for the silly request, but I am brand new to HTML and JavaScript and am trying to self-teach. My code right now is based off a resource I found that teaches you how to make a timer. My only question is, why does line 16 (var seconds...) come up with the error in the title, specifically with the red line under "var"? Thank you in advance. Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var x = setInterval(function() {
var timer = 600;
var minutes = Math.floor(timer // 60);
var seconds = Math.floor(timer % 60);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = minutes + "minutes and " + seconds + "seconds";
if (timer < 0) {
clearInterval(x);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "EXPIRED"
}
}, 1000);
</script>

You will probably find this is to do with line 15, being commented out at character 37, I think instead of putting / you've ended up putting // which comments out in js
from my testing, removing the secondary / fixes the issue with the code you pasted
what you had:
var timer = 600;
var minutes = Math.floor(timer // 60);
var seconds = Math.floor(timer % 60);
what works for me
var timer = 600;
var minutes = Math.floor(timer / 60);
var seconds = Math.floor(timer % 60);
