console.log() shows the changed value of a variable before the value actually changes

Question

This bit of code I understand. We make a copy of A and call it C. When A is changed C stays the same

var A = 1;
var C = A;
console.log(C); // 1
A++;
console.         


        

Answer 1

Though it's not going to work in every situation, I ended up using a "break point" to solve this problem:

mysterious = {property:'started'}

// prints the value set below later ?
console.log(mysterious)

// break,  console above prints the first value, as god intended
throw new Error()

// later
mysterious = {property:'changed', extended:'prop'}
