Quite informative post. Didn't know about these many shades of console.

I might not have covered everything, checkout console.time(), console.timeend(), console.memory()

Thinking of doing a part two of this article to write about these ones xD

Thanks Devesh :)

Tip: Console.table() snapshots the current state of the object where as console.log() will log the object directly so the log updates if the state of the object updates in next steps

I have never come across so many uses of console. methods ! Informative post. Saving it for later uses. Thanks.
