JavaScript Console

The JavaScript console give us some useful debugging tools to use with our program. The first is that most errors that prevent your program from running will appear here.

Additionally, you can use the console to display messages, using console.log(). For example:

You can access the JavaScript Console two ways. The first is to click the three dots menu in the top right corner of the screen. From this menu navigate to More Tools>Developer Tools. In the drawer that appears, select "Console".

You can also access Developer Tools by right clicking on the page and selecting "Inspect", the select "Console" in the resulting drawer.
