Console Output

Console output is a fundamental programming concept that involves displaying text, data, or debugging information to a terminal, command-line interface, or integrated development environment (IDE) console. It is used for user interaction, logging, and real-time monitoring of program execution, typically implemented through functions like print() in Python or console.log() in JavaScript.

Also known as: Terminal Output, Command-Line Output, Stdout, Printing, Logging to Console

Why learn Console Output?

Developers should master console output for debugging, testing, and providing user feedback in applications, especially during development phases. It is essential for logging errors, tracking variable values, and creating command-line tools where text-based interfaces are required.
