history.go() vs history.back() in JavaScript

The history.go() method is used to navigate forward or backward a specific number of steps in the browser’s history. Positive numbers move forward, while negative numbers move backward.

The History.back() method is used to go back to the previous page in the browser’s history, similar to clicking the browser’s back button.

Therefore, the difference between the two lies in the fact that history.go() can specify the number of steps to jump, while History.back() can only return to the previous page.
