Problem with console.log(set) JAVASCRIPT

Can someone please explain why the console.log() doesn’t log the the set object but instead it logs {}:

let hello = new Set();
hello.add(5);
console.log(hello);//returns {}

Forking fine for me on both FF and Chrome,
perhaps there are some other factors at play?

are you using the freeCodeCamp console? that works well enough, but you should upgrade to the browser console

Yeah, talking about the FCC console, does it work? or there is a problem in it?

the code works, the fcc console doesn’t show a set tho
my screenshot is from the browser console

Alright, so probably the FCC console is buggy…

the freeCodeCamp console is not a fully fledged console, it works for some things, not everything is coded in it

you can report it as a bug if you want
