About
Errors logged to the console help developers find and fix problems in their code. When something goes wrong, like a bug or incorrect function, the console displays a message with details about the issue. This helps developers understand what went wrong, where it happened, and what needs to be fixed. By using the console, developers can troubleshoot and improve their websites or applications, making them run more smoothly for users.
