What is the main difference between console.log and document.write

Question

I have been seeing people using console.log and sololearn is telling me that it is document.write. Can JavaScript gurus explain the difference.

Answer 1

console.log outputs to console (you can see it in any browser by inspecting the page and opening the console tab)

document.write will write on the page itself

console.log is used mainly for debugging

document.write shouldn't be used at any case

to open console on Chrome browser simply open a webpage, right click somewhere in the page and click Inspect Page (or Ctrl + Shift + i) and click on the Console tab (between Elements and Sources)

Answer 2

console.log is handy to help you debug when you create something

if you want to display something you will most likely use HTML elements and JS to manipulate them (to make it dynamic)
(ain't gonna confuse you with other libraries and frameworks, as a beginner stick to HTML and JavaScript)

i suggest you look into the HTML and JavaScript courses sololearn have to offer

and once you finish those lookninto CSS if you want to learn how to design and style the page/s

Answer 3

which one is more appropriate for building website, console.log or document.write.
