?? Benefits of "Store as Global Variable"

? Quick Access – No need to re-run functions or log the variable repeatedly. ? Experiment Freely – Modify object properties and test changes in real-time. ? Enhance Debugging Efficiency – Inspect complex objects without navigating through console logs.

?? Example: How to Use It

Imagine you’re debugging an API response and want to inspect the returned data:

fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));        

Once the object appears in the console: 1?? Right-click on the logged object. 2?? Click "Store as Global Variable". 3?? Chrome assigns it to a temporary variable like temp1. 4?? Now, simply type temp1 in the console to access and manipulate it! ??
