How console.log works behind the scene?

Question

When I am running this piece of code in JSEditor.

var obj = {}; 
console.log(obj); 
obj.foo = 'bar';

The o/p is : [object Object]

While the same code in the console tab is giving me this o/p:

{}
"bar"

In node js

console instance configured to write to process.stdout and process.stderr. The global console can be used without calling require('console').

var p={}

console.log function uses process.stdout.write();process.stdout

So you will get object after writing the value
