write to console in javascript code example

Example 1: what is console in javascript

var str = "Howdy GeeksforGeeks"
var geek = {
  book: "harrypotter",
  price: "2000"
};
var geek2 = [10, 20, 30];
console.log(str);
console.dir(str);
console.dir(geek);
console.log("geek (log) = ", geek);
console.dir(geek2);
console.log("geek2 (log) = ", geek2);

// Prints only string as dir() takes 
// only one parameter. 
console.dir("geek2 (dir) = ", geek2);

Example 2: html console text

<script>
  console.log('%c text', 'background:---; color:---; font-size:---;');
</script>

Example 3: console javascript

Example 4: how to use the javascript console

/*

shortcuts:

command K = clears the console
command shift M = toggle device toolbar
command shift C = select something on the page

you can also log in a variable you may have coded:

x;
[value of x at that moment]

if you're animating something:
noLoop();
[stops the animation]

loop();
[continues the animation]

you can also code somewhat intricate text:

for (var i = 0; i > 10; i++) {
	console.log([variable or anything]);
}
  
some functions are also available to use:

function mousePressed() {
	console.log([anything]);
}

function keyPressed() {
	noLoop(); [or anything else]
}
