Console Log

Definitions

1. Output written directly to a terminal, browser console, or stdout/stderr stream for debugging or visibility. Console logs are useful during development, but in production they usually need structured routing and level control rather than ad hoc print statements scattered through the code.

   In plain English: Log output printed directly to a terminal or browser console.

   Example: "The bug reproduced only in the browser, so the first clue came from a console log showing the state machine entering an impossible branch."
