Below examples illustrate the use of console.countReset() method in Node.js:

Example 1:

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// console.countReset() method

// Accessing console module
const console = require('console');

// Calling console.count() method
console.count("a");
console.count("b");
console.count("a");
console.count("a");
console.count("a");
console.count("b");

// Resetting counter
console.countReset("a");

console.count("a");
console.count("b");

Output:

a: 1
b: 1
a: 2
a: 3
a: 4
b: 2
a: 1
b: 1

Example 2:

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// console.countReset() method

// Accessing console module
const console = require('console');

// Calling console.count() method
// with no parameter to count
// default label
console.count();
console.count("a");
console.count("b");
console.count("a");
console.count("a");
console.count();
console.count();

// Resetting counter
console.countReset();
console.countReset("a");
console.countReset("b");

console.count();
console.count("a");
console.count("b");

Output:

default: 1
a: 1
b: 1
a: 2
a: 3
default: 2
default: 3
default: 1
a: 1
b: 1

Note: The above program will compile and run by using the node filename.js command.
