<p>That little blue <span style="color: #236fa1;"><strong>></strong></span> there is the console. this is in brave or chrome, but on different browsers the shortcut to get there may be in settings. </p>
<h3>What can we do in the console?</h3>
<p>The most common thing to do here is check for script errors, but you can do tons more things like run javascript functions or anything the browser is capable of if you know the commands. </p>
<h3>Test some variables</h3>
<p>Log some variables to the console. </p>
<h4>Javascript</h4>
<pre><code class="javascript hljs">var test = 10;<br />var anothertest = "kruxor";<br />console.log(test);<br />console.log(anothertest);</code></pre>
<p>Log as an object to see the variable name and value by adding {} to the variable name. </p>
<h4>Javascript</h4>
<pre><code class="javascript hljs">console.log({test});<br />console.log({anothertest});</code></pre>

<p>Or you can just log them all together creating a single object.</p>
<h4>Javascript</h4>
<pre><code class="javascript hljs">console.log({test}, {anothertest});</code></pre>
<p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/I3UzLrT.png" /><br /><em>Example logging multiple objects in one log.</em></p>
<p>You can then use the console.table to show the data in a tabular format rather then just the raw objects.</p>
<h4>Javascript</h4>
<pre><code class="javascript hljs">console.table({test});<br />console.table({another_test});</code></pre>

<h3>Other types of console messages</h3>
<p>Here are some other message options in red and orange and just normal console message format. </p>
<h4>Javascript</h4>
<pre><code class="javascript hljs">console.log("This is a log message") // normal log<br />console.info("This is information") // another way to do a standard display<br />console.error("This is an error message") // highlight the message in red and flag it as an error<br />console.warn("This is a warning") // highlight the message in orange and flag it as a warning</code></pre>
