// 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];

// 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);

}

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

// log: Hello World, 248, 12.05
// 
// error: foo:bar baz

// warn: 1 2 3
