Logging a Object and Array

The console.log() method can log not only strings and numbers but also complex data types like objects and arrays. This makes it especially useful when debugging applications.

• Logging an Object: When you log an object directly, the console shows it in an expandable format, so you can explore its properties:

Output

{ name: "Alice", age: 25, city: "New York" }

• Logging an Array: Arrays can also be logged directly. The console shows them as a list of values with their index positions:

Output

["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]
