Working with JavaScript in Node.js
Explore the role of the global object in Node.js and understand how to use key global functions like setTimeout and setInterval. Learn to manage asynchronous code execution and experiment with these concepts in the REPL environment to strengthen your Node.js JavaScript skills.
When using JavaScript in the browser, we work with the window object as the global scope, which includes methods like alert() and properties like location. However, in Node.js, there is no window object because it operates outside the browser environment. Instead, Node.js uses its own global object, global, to store globally accessible properties and functions. Functions like console.log() and setTimeout() are part of this global scope and can be used directly in Node.js applications.
