Writing into the Browser Console: Using console.log()
The console.log() method allows you to send output to the browser’s developer console, which is useful for debugging purposes. It doesn’t affect the HTML page or the user’s interaction but helps developers track the execution of code and diagnose issues.
Example:
JavaScript
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Console Log Example</title>
<script>
function logMessage() {
console.log("This message is logged to the console.");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="logMessage()">Log Message</button>
</body>
</html>
- Usage: Ideal for debugging and logging information during development.
- Consideration: Users won’t see console.log() outputs unless they open the developer tools, making this a non-intrusive way to track issues without affecting the user experience..
