JavaScript Display Possibilities
JavaScript can "display" data in different ways:
Writing into an HTML element, using innerHTML .
Writing into the HTML output using [Link]() .
Writing into an alert box, using [Link]() .
Writing into the browser console, using [Link]() .
Using innerHTML
To access an HTML element, JavaScript can use the [Link](id) method.
The id attribute defines the HTML element. The innerHTML property defines the HTML
content:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My First Paragraph</p>

</body>
</html>

Changing the innerHTML property of an HTML element is a common way to display data in HTML.
Using [Link]()
For testing purposes, it is convenient to use [Link]() :
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
<script>
[Link](5 + 6);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Using [Link]() after an HTML document is loaded, will delete all existing HTML:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
<button type="button" onclick="[Link](5 + 6)">Try it</button>
</body>
</html>

The [Link]() method should only be used for testing.

You can skip the window keyword.
In JavaScript, the window object is the global scope object. This means that variables, properties,
and methods by default belong to the window object. This also means that specifying the window
keyword is optional:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
<script>
alert(5 + 6);
</script>
</body>
</html>
