@user1032531 that is the Chrome dev tools. By the way I updated the start of the answer.

The array-like log is mostly a result of the length property, not of the numeric property names. And what does your example of alerting a string have to do with console.log?

That was showing how you can have numeric properties on objects. I'm trying to emphasis the facts that they're objects, not arrays.

Number 3 is completely wrong. getElementsByClassName and getElementsByTagName return HTMLCollections and NOT NodeLists. querySelector and querySelectorAll will return a NodeList.
