Giving illogical compilation errors for console.log() (Angular 13.0.1)

Issue

I was just following an udemy tutorial when suddenly, these errors appeared: Unexpected keyword or identifier., Member 'console' implicitly has an 'any' type., Unexpected token. A constructor, method, accessor, or property was expected., 'log', which lacks return-type annotation, implicitly has an 'any' return type., Identifier expected.. Here`s my innocent line 10 code: console.log('example');

Can someone explain what happened?

Edit: Here's my code:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class HardcodedAuthenticationService {

  constructor() { }

  console.log('example');

  authenticate(username: any, password: any) {
    if (username !== '' && password !== '') {
      sessionStorage.setItem('authenticatedUser', username)
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  }

  isUserLoggedIn() {
    let user = sessionStorage.getItem('authenticatedUser');
    return !(user === null)
  };
}

Also this is a service

Solution

I needed to put the console log in authenticate(). I am so sorry!
