Prank Your Coder Friend On April Fools With This!

Get Ready To Prank Your Coder Friends With A Simple Code!

Just rewrite the console.log function with:

var $old_consoleLog = console.log;
console.log = function(String){
   $old_consoleLog("Bonkers: " + String);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Explanation:

var $old_consoleLog = console.log; 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Stores console.log function as another variable: "$old_consoleLog"

Don't let your coder friend find out this variable
console.log = function(String){
   $old_consoleLog("Bonkers: " + String);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Rewrites original console.log function to output "Bonkers: ...";
Can also replace "Bonkers with any other Value as Prefix"

Can Revert Changes with:

console.log = $old_consoleLog;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Reaction: What? Why Console.log Is Adding Bonkers to its output?
