If you new to JavaScript then just open your console in browser and write window there and you can see the what inside this window object

When we are on the Browser we can access to the window, but there is no windowin the computer. So how we can use that ?
Even after installing the npm, it doesn’t give us to access those window object so how should we do it ?

Well good thing is we can access the window here to, it just changed it’s name. It called global now.
