Is it wrong that I'm stuck trying to figure out what language this is?

Trying to figure out what string.length and print(var) exist in a single language.... Not Java, not C# (I'm pretty sure its .Length, not length), certainly not C, C++ or Python, Pascal, Schme or Haskell or Javascript or PHP.

OCR exam language, a pseudocode format.

This could run in Javascript if you setup print as an alias for window.alert or console.log

It can run in regular JS; print() just prints the page (ignoring the passed value).

The QuickJS interpreter has print as a built-in alias for console.log.
