Working with the JavaScript console
The geth command-line utility has an inbuilt JavaScript Runtime Environment (JSRE). This JavaScript console exposes all web3js objects and methods. You can use this JSRE as a REPL (Read, Execute, Print, Loop) console.
In this recipe, we will learn how to connect and use the JSRE in interactive (console) and non-interactive (script) modes.
