I've been given a task to produce a webpage which solves the quadratic formula. Talking to friends they have said the simplised way is to learn java script and build the webpage. I have been learning the language on code academy and that's fine but where and how do I i write in my own code and execute it for java script? All I have been using so far is the editor page on code academy. Im completely lost in where to go next

Write the code in a simple notepad or wordpad file (TextEdit for Mac), and then save it with a .html extension. Now when you open it, it should open in your browser by default. Be sure to properly enclose your javascript in <script> tags.
