Commit message doesn't conform to the guidelines/conventions used, but especially for such a focused change, whoever is landing the code can certainly fix it.

In case that person is not me and whoever it is doesn't want to think about it, here's a suggested commit log:

doc: fix example in console.md
Update example code in console.md to be the correct code for generating the
output indicated.

Leave a 👍 here if you are a Collaborator in favor of fast-tracking this.

[vsemozhetbyt]

Should an example of a call without properties be added?

[vsemozhetbyt]

Also not sure if this is a typo: ...and logit. and if it can be addressed here on landing, feel free to ignore)

[vsemozhetbyt]

LGTM with ignorable nits in comments)

[Trott]

Should an example of a call without properties be added?

@vsemozhetbyt Yes (although it doesn't have to be in this pull request if @sant123 just wants to get a quick correction in and not spend time perfecting the console.table() example code beyond fixing a clear mistake). If you'd like, maybe push a second commit to this branch yourself adding that example?

@Trott If I push my own commit, will not this mess up with First-time contributor to Contributor promotion?

If I had to guess, I wouldn't think so, but if you believe it might, you very well could be right!

The parameter properties is optional here.
The output is same even if ['a', 'b'] is not passed as properties

[vsemozhetbyt]

For me:

>console.table([{a: 1,b: 'Y'},{a: 'Z',b: 2}]);┌─────────┬──────────────────┐│(index)│Values│├─────────┼──────────────────┤│0│{a: 1,b: 'Y'}││1│{ a: 'Z',b: 2}│└─────────┴──────────────────┘

[vsemozhetbyt]

They are optional, but not with the same output it seems.

[trivikr]

@vsemozhetbyt You're right. I just verified it with Node.js v10.0.0
My bad, earlier I'd verified it on Google Chrome v66 where the output was same even if ['a', 'b'] is not passed as properties

[vsemozhetbyt]

I've pushed under the OP username and email, this can be reverted if I am wrong.

we should fix the bug not document the bugged behaviour

@devsnek OK. #20323

I'd like to leave this PR open until that one lands.

As noted in #17128 (comment) the method still appears in the inspector-only methods (line 508 on the new diff). Maybe we should take the opportunity to fix this?
