What is the Javascript console?

The JavaScript console is a command line interface in your browser that can execute snippets of code.

It can be very useful for a developer or a person who knows what it is meant for.

It can be equally harmful for someone who tries to use it based on a stranger’s instructions and doesn’t know what it is meant for!
