Introduction to console

The console module provides us with debugging console similar to javascript console mechanism web browsers provide us. It exports two components :

1. console class : It includes methods such as console.log(), console.warn(), console.error()which we can use to write to node.js streams.
2. Global console instance : This method is configured to write on process.stderr, process.stdout()and it can be used without exclusively calling the module require('console').

console.log() and all its variations

console.log()is used to print to stdoutwith a newline. We can pass multiple arguments. Let’s see the different variations of console.login the example given below :

// console.log().js
// using ' ' to print
console.log('1: hello world!');
// using " " to print
console.log("2: This will also work!");

const str = 'nodejsera';

const val = 25;

// printing a string
console.log(str);	

// printing a variable and replacing the 
// value of variable in place of %d
console.log('4: Value of val is: %d', val);

// replacing a string in place of %s
console.log('5: %s', 'this will be printed after 5');

// concatinating in console
console.log("6: str = " + str);

The Output is:

1: hello world!
2: This will also work!
nodejsera
4: Value of val is: 25
5: this will be printed after 5
6: str = nodejsera
