I encountered a strange situation in JavaScript where I have a variable that I log to console.log
, then increment it and log it again. The Chrome Dev Tools display the following result.
This variable has shown some odd behavior, such as using the +=
operator to add to it resulting in the added value appearing after the number (for instance, if x=5
and I perform x+=3
, x
becomes 53
). What puzzles me is that while incrementing with ++ functions correctly, I am curious about why the incremented number appears in blue in the console. If anyone could provide insights on scenarios where this may occur, I would appreciate it. However, I suspect the blue entry in the console is somehow linked to this issue.
In summary, why does a number appear in blue in the Chrome Dev Console?
