The console.log() method writes a message to the console.The console is useful for testing purposes. While the write() method writes HTML expressions or JavaScript code to a document. The write() method is mostly used for testing: If it is used after an HTML document is fully loaded, it will delete all existing HTML.

document.write() gives new learner a feel of how JS affects the DOM of the page. As a developer however I advise to use the methods of console. Not only log() exists but many others and each has it's own helpful function
