Debugging with Console & DevTools
What does console.count() do in JavaScript?
console.count() provides execution frequency tracking: 1) It maintains an internal counter for each unique label passed to it, 2) Each time it's called with the same label, it increments and logs the current count, 3) The output format is typically 'label: count', 4) This is useful for tracking how many times a function is called or a section of code is executed, 5) It helps identify unexpected repeated executions or verify expected frequencies, 6) The counter can be reset with console.countReset(label), 7) If no label is provided, it uses 'default' as the label, 8) This method is particularly valuable for debugging event handlers, loops, or recursive functions to ensure they're running the expected number of times.
