Is it possible to log an error to the console?

Question

I have a variable that basically has 25% chance of being false and a 75% chance of being true. Is there a way I can log an error to the console if it's throwError is equal to false?

const throwError = Math.random() > 0.25;

if (throwError === true) {
  console.log("yay!");
} else {
  logError("something went wrong!"); // I expect it to be something like this
}

You can choose the colours you want! If you want red, go with `console.error`. For a blue, go with `console.info`. If you fancy a yellow, use `console.warn`, like this: `console.warn("this comment is just a joke")`. — Gerardo Furtado, Sep 10 '19 at 11:00

There is the console.error(...) function.

Or you can even throw new Error(yourMsgHere)

Yes it is possible to log and error to the console.

console.log("Error");

Each browser has a console you can access and view the output of the console log.

Ctrl Shift J - this is the shortcut on windows

Take a look at this

You can also use the console.exception() to through exception .
