I am new to JS so please bear with me :)
below is the code but on clicking it does not trigger the function
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<button type="submit" onclick="evaluate()">Submit</button>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function evaluate(){
document.write("Working");
};
</script>
</html>evaluate() is a reserved function in JavaScript. Name your function something else.
The fact that the console error mentioned the need for two arguments was a clue that the function was defined somewhere already, and that your definition wasn't being considered.

</html>Regarding document.write, see Why is document.write considered a "bad practice"?.
Try using a function name different than "evaluate" - evaluate is a reserved function name
