Short List<\/h5>\n
console.log();<\/code> a lot.<\/strong> console.log<\/code> spits out the value of whatever is in the ()<\/code> to the browser console, which helps you keep tabs on how a value is changing in your code. Sometimes you have to move the console.log<\/code> to a different place, like before or after another function, because order matters and the value of your value can change.<\/p>\nUse console.clear();<\/code><\/strong> to clear the memory of a value in the console. Sometimes it\u2019s ok to forget.<\/p>\ntypeof<\/code> to keep track of values<\/strong>. For instance sometimes a number is a numeral and sometimes it\u2019s a string. Write console.log(typeof value);<\/code> and that will tell you the type for value.<\/p>\n
