Javascript – Is console is object?

I have a query regarding JavaScript.

In the context of JavaScript programming, I understand that ‘console’ is often utilized for debugging and displaying information.

Is the ‘console’ considered an object in JavaScript?

Furthermore, as ‘log’ is a method frequently used within ‘console’ for outputting messages, does ‘log’ have to be contained within the ‘console’ object?

I’m seeking clarification to better understand the structure and usage of these elements within the JavaScript environment

    console is indeed an object. Proof:

    document.write(typeof console);

    Whenever you are unsure what the type of a certain entity is, you can use typeof in order to find that out.

    I would expect log (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console/log_static) to be defined, because it’s specified in the standard, see https://console.spec.whatwg.org/#console-namespace

//properties inside the console object
console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyNames(console))
//output: ["debug", "error", "log", "info", "w...]
