    // 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.

    // The console output is retrieved by calling ConsoleOutputSb
