# Console log with params

Let's have a look at our best friend, `console.log`! It's such an amazing "tool" if we can call it that.
Logging is just making our life so much easier, and I use it all the time.

But did you know we can pass params in console.logs?

## Types of params in console.log

- Strings: Use `%s`
- Integer: Use `%d` or `%i`
- Floats: Use `%f`
- Object hyperlink: Use `%o`

These are more than enough types and can come in handy!

## How to use params in console.log

To use params, we can place them in our console log as such:

```js
console.log('This %s will return the number %d', 'string', 10);
// This string will return the number 10
```

As you can see, we can give it multiple params at once. These are read in the order inputted.

So in the above's example, it will be `%s` first then `%d`.

Let's give them all a try:

```js
console.log('Let us %s a string', 'print');
// Let us print a string

console.log('The number %d is not the same as %i', 10, 11);
// The number 10 is not the same as 11

console.log('Even a float like %f will work', 10.233);
// Even a float like 10.233 will work

console.log('There is a good link: %o', 'http://stackoverflow.com');
// There is a good link: "http://stackoverflow.com"
```

Yes, you can also just add this in, but I prefer this way, just neater code and more readable!

Give it a try on your next project.
