Console.log

console. (followed by name of function to be called)

Description

Console.log outputs text to the Chrome Debugger's console. If you run your app with the debugger's console window open, you can see the message as your program runs. This is useful for tracing program execution, checking variables' values during execution and for timing.

Here's a video show some of the techniques in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkzDaKwinA8

Example

//console.log sample call
function Main() {
  console.log("This is a logging message");
  console.log(arguments.callee.name);
}

Rem console.log
Sub Main()
  console.log("This is a logging message")
  console.log(arguments.callee.name)
End Sub

Example - console.table =

Set up a simple table, then run your app. languages is global.

languages = [ _
    { name: "JavaScript", fileExtension: ".js" }, _
    { name: "TypeScript", fileExtension: ".ts" },_
    { name: "CoffeeScript", fileExtension: ".coffee" }_
]

Now, go into the console and display languages:

Output
