Does Javascript converts numbers and other data types to strings to print it in console?

Question

So I was reading a book on JS , and it says if you write

var x = 20;
console.log(x);

Then Javascript will first convert x to string implicitly then print it. Can't Javascript just print numbers on console ?

Answer 1

The book isn't quite right. Unless you deliberately concatenate with a string, the console will generally log the argument as-is. Numbers will be logged as numbers, strings will be logged as strings, objects will be logged as (expandable, navigable) objects, and so on.

console.log(20);
console.log('20');
