Basic Output in JavaScript

JavaScript provides several ways to display information. These methods are essential for beginners to understand how their code works.

1. Using `console.log()`

console.log() prints messages to the browser console. It is mainly used for debugging or checking values.

console.log("Hello, World!");

2. Using `alert()`

alert() shows a pop-up message in the browser.

alert("Welcome to JavaScript!");

3. Using `document.write()`

document.write() writes content directly to the webpage.

document.write("Hello, this is JavaScript output!");
