1: The Console provides the user with the ability to write, manage, and monitor JavaScript on demand.

2: To open the JavaScript Console in Chrome, you can navigate to the menu at the top-right of your browser window signified by three vertical dots in a row. From there, you can select More Tools then Developer Tools.

This will open a panel where you can click on Console along the top menu bar to bring up the JavaScript Console if it is not highlighted already:

3: With this function you can print strings or do calculation and combine these.

4: Open the HTML file on your computer than start the console in Chrome. Now you can start change contents realtime. But it will not save the changes. You have to paste it in the HTML code in the file.

1. Console is a tool offered in many web browsers through which you can edit a java script code. It allows you to interact with the web page by carrying out Java Script expressions within that same page. Kind of like managing JavaScript on demand.
2. To open Console on Chrome you need to open more tools - developer options - console.
3. Console.log function logs the console to the javscript functions and hence enables to perform funcitons.
4. Through the elements tab, by double clicking the html tag to be edited.

[aryakrishna]

1. It is used to interact directly with the browser page after the command of HTML
2. Press CTRL + SHIFT + J
3. To connect HTML with the JavaScript and automatically checking errors that can prevent the command to work as it supposed to do.
4. By enabling the DOM Tree that are available to viewed in Inspector panel in Firefox or the Elements panel in Chrome

[CryptoBern]

1. To test and review both Javascript and html codes on a webpage
2. I used Brave browser. Click on top right hand menu and click on “more tools” in drop down menu and then click on “developer tools”.
3. It allows you to check on the output of a javascript code
4. Technically no. You can only review the changes live on the website, but once you exit the console and reload the website, it will revert to its original state.

Hi @kmilo_Mart

I had moved your post to the appropriate topic, for every course in the academy you will find an existing topic in the Forum

You have this issue because when you are using ‘let’ you are declaring a variable, but you can’t declare multiples variables with the same name in the same console session.

So the first time you will declare your variable

let d = new Date();

If you want to change the value of d you can just do

d = new Date();

1 - The console is used to write and execute javascript within the context of a browser/webpage.

2 - In Google chrome you can right click and go to ‘inspect’

3 - console.log function prints a value to the console

4 - you can use the command document.xxxxxx to edit the document but these commands needed to be added and saved to the source page to be permanent.

The console is used for javascript similar to using a terminal shell but with a lot more functions. You can open the console in google by going to the top right of the browser, tapping the three dots and open the menu, go to more tools than developer tools. The Console.log function can be used for working on multiple lines with variables. You can change HTML content by going to the inspector tab and changing things from the DOM tree.
