Quick answers for this chapter

What’s the most common beginner error?

Trying to use something that’s null or undefined, usually because an element wasn’t found.

Is console.log debugging OK?

Yes, everyone uses it. Breakpoints are just faster for tricky bugs.

Should I remove console.log before launch?

Remove the noisy ones; keep the page’s console clean so real errors stand out.
