I'm a beginning Javascripter and was wondering why this is happening?

I'm clueless in JavaScript, so I'm guessing:

1. "Amerifat" is not a String type, thus; you can't return its length. I say this because, in Java, you define a String by String, not var.
2. length; is not the correct way of returning the String's length. I say this because, in Java; you get the String's length with length();

i dont do JavaScript, but from what i know i would guess

that #log() is a void or another type of method

just like println() in Java and that should be

...

console.log(myCountry.length);

console.log(myCountry.substring(0,3));

...

I think you have to make a new variable first for the length, and then log it. Something like:

var l = MyCountry.length;

Haven't done JavaScript in awhile so don't quote me on this.

your ) is misplaced, the line should be console.log(myCountry.length);

This one's correct, you've misplaced the ")"
