//  This example demonstrates using the built-in console object.
//  The Javascript run in this example is shown below.

//  Load the JavaScript from a file.
CkoStringBuilder *sbScript = [[CkoStringBuilder alloc] init];

}

CkoJs *js = [[CkoJs alloc] init];
CkoJsonObject *result = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];

//  Run the JavaScript
//  Results (not console output) go to result.
//  Note: Eval returns the completion value of the script. This is generally the value of the last evaluated expression.
//  In this case, the last evaluated expression is console.log which does not calculate a value. Therefore, it returns undefined.
success = [js Eval: sbScript result: result];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",sbScript.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  We can look at the result, which is "undefined", which is normal and expected.
NSLog(@"%@",[result Emit]);
//  The result JSON is: {"type":"undefined","value":"undefined"}

//  The console output is retrieved by calling ConsoleOutputSb
