Developers use console.log() for logging useful info. document.write modifies what user sees in the browser by adding additional content to DOM.

console.log method is used to print text to the console, and document.write essentially adds text to the page. for example, go onto a browser, open up inspect element, go into the console tab and at the prompt write console.log(“hi”); and then write document.write(“hi”); . as you can see console.log writes it to the console, whereas document.write writes it to the page. console.log is good for logging server statuses and loads.
