Javascript Console Log

<html>
   <head><title>Print Console</title></head>
   <body>
      <script>
         console.log("Hello Javascript");
      </script>
   </body>
</html>

Then open console.html on the browser (e.g. chrome), right-click on the browser and click inspect.

Click console from inspecting tab, you will see console print out of "Hello Javascript").

Double slash is used for commenting out one line only
