Prints the object(s) to the output stream that is the current value of out. print and println produce output for human consumption.

Examples

by dakrone on 2010-12-30 . May have evaluation errors. ▶

;; same as println, but without a newline (print "foo") (print "foo") foofoo

by owenRiddy on 2021-11-27 . May have evaluation errors. ▶

;; Output only flushes when there is a newline. It is likely that (print) ;; will be seen in the company of (flush). ;; Buggy case. Wants to print a prompt character, but it doesn't appear. (print "> ") ;; This doesn't work, (readline) ;; Working case. The output can be flushed this way. (print "> ") (flush) (readline)

(print "foo" "foo") ;; => foo foo

Note by jcburley

"Human consumption" means, for example, that a string is printed as-is -- without surrounding double quotes and without nonprinting characters being escaped.
