The code prints the value of the global object to the console using console.log(global), which retrieves and displays the global scope in Node.js. The global object represents the global variables and functions.

Cell 15

console.log(global)

What the code could have been:

/**
 * Prints the global object.
 */

// Import the global object from the Node.js 'global' module.
const { global } = require('global');

// TODO: Consider using a more secure and explicit way to access the global object.

// Safely log the global object to the console.
console.log(global);

// TODO: Investigate the presence of a global object in Node.js environments other than the default one.
```

Or in an ES6 context:

```javascript
/**
 * Prints the global object.
 */

// Import the global object from the Node.js 'global' module.
import { global } from 'global';

// TODO: Consider using a more secure and explicit way to access the global object.

// Safely log the global object to the console.
console.log(global);

// TODO: Investigate the presence of a global object in Node.js environments other than the default one.
