When debugging or analysing JavaScript, you often see people trying to find out how often a certain function is called. The common way to do that is to use a global counter variable to increment and log in the function.
var i = 0;
function test(){
// other functionality
i++;
console.log(i);
// other functionality
}
There is, however, a better method. The Console of the browser has a count() and countReset() method that event takes a label. That means you can avoid the global.
function bettertest(){
console.count('bettertest');
}
You can see it in action in this screencast.
This is part of the standard Console API and should be supported in all browsers.
