use Core.print
The print core module provides several print functions. Here are all the print functions this module provides. There exist a lot of builtin print overloads for the print function.
| Parameter Types | Return Types | Can Throw? |
|---|---|---|
str | void | No |
i32 | void | No |
i64 | void | No |
u32 | void | No |
u64 | void | No |
f32 | void | No |
f64 | void | No |
u8 | void | No |
bool | void | No |
Note that none of the print functions prints a new line after the print. This could be important when printing values in a loop, for example, because calling a "native" print function like print(i32) is generally speaking faster than calling the print(str) function with an interpolated string as argument, as string casting + concatenation takes more time than just calling the specialized print functions one after another. So, while string interpolation is much more ergonomic for the programmer, its is also a bit slower generally speaking.
The print(str) function was used throughout this wiki until now. Every string interpolation evaluates to a string value, so this is the function we have called exclusively thus far, to make printing not as overwhelming.
