    // 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.

    // We can look at the result, which is "undefined", which is normal and expected.
    wprintf(L"%s\n",result.emit());
    // The result JSON is: {"type":"undefined","value":"undefined"}

    // The console output is received using ProgressInfo callbacks.
    // The output is:

    // log: Hello World, 248, 12.05
    // 
    // error: foo:bar baz
    // 
    // warn: 1 2 3
    // 
    // log: %% %s
    // 
    // log: myApp: {
    //   "appName": "Example",
    //   "version": 1,
    //   "isDebug": true,
    //   "supportedTypes": [
    //     "string",
    //     "number",
    //     "object"

    // }
    // 
    // log: App: myApp (Version 1)
    // 
    // {"type":"undefined","value":"undefined"}

// Chilkat Js console emits CRLF line endings on Windows, and LF line endings on non-Windows.

// Output: Hello World, 248, 12.05

// If there are more arguments than the number of specifiers, the extra arguments are output, separated by spaces:
console.error('%s:%s', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz');
// Output: foo:bar baz

// If the first argument does not contain a valid format specifier, outputs a string that is the concatenation of all arguments separated by spaces:
console.warn(1,2,3);
// Output: 1 2 3

//If only one argument is passed, it is returned as it is without any formatting:
console.log("%% %s");
// Output: %% %s
