When working with JavaScript, it's important to be able to view the properties and methods of an object in order to understand its structure and behavior. There are several ways to do this, depending on the environment in which you are working. One common approach is to use the console to log the object and inspect its properties and methods. For example, if you have an object named 'person' with properties like 'name' and 'age', you can use console.log(person) to see all the properties and their values in the console. Another approach is to use the debugger statement to set a breakpoint in your code and inspect the object in the developer tools. This allows you to step through the code and see the state of the object at different points in the execution. Additionally, you can use the Object.keys() method to get an array of the object's own enumerable property names, or the for...in loop to iterate over all the properties of the object. By understanding how to view an object and its properties and methods, you can gain better insight into the data and functionality of your JavaScript code.
