.push() Method

Question

Why in console.log I get different output for both? In lesson "Methods: Part 1" Jim said that they should be the same after script execution if you do not use .toString()
```javascript
var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
console.log(fruits);
fruits.push("Kiwi");
console.log(fruits);
```
in console i get
javascript
["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]
["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango", "Kiwi"]

but according to lesson it should be like this, if I don't use .toString()
javascript
["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]
["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]

I get the same thing as you do in my console. Jim was referring to a quirk in the browser's console behaviour that used to occur in an older version of Chrome he was using when he recorded these videos. So you should not be worried about this small difference.
Note that this is not the only situation where the browser behaviour changed from what is presented in these videos. For example, in one of the previous sessions he mentioned that the value of undefined can be set to something else. That is no longer the case with the later versions of the Chrome browser. Setting a value for undefined does nothing.

Are you running this code directly from the console?   If so then the .toString() won't matter, but if executing the script by loading it into a html page it will make a difference is what Jim is saying.
