"document.write is used on an HTML page to display text on the screen. ... console.log was created to make our life easier when we test our code. It logs to the screen the result we are looking for." Source: https://www.codecademy.com/en/forum_questions/53121d097c82ca0a33003906

well, console.log() clearly states that it is logging to the console, whereas document.write() states it is writing to the document.
