| Description |
The print() function writes to the console area, the black rectangle at the bottom of the Processing environment. This function is often helpful for looking at the data a program is producing. Using print() on an object will output a string representation of that object, as determined by its internal __str__ and __repr__ methods (more information here). In Python Mode, print() and println() are functionally identical. Under the hood, print in Python 2 is not actually a function at all--it is a statement, and can be used without quotes: print i. Writing print(i) is print plus the single-element expression (i). When we write print(1,2), the statement outputs a tuple: (1, 2). To change this behavior, make the first line of a sketch: from __future__ import print_function. This turns print(i) into a function, disallows print i, and causes print(1, 2) to output 1, 2 rather than (1, 2). |
