;; Click the link to clojure.core/format under See also for ;; more extensive examples. printf and format take the same ;; arguments -- the difference is that format returns a formatted ;; string, whereas printf sends the formatted string to *out*. ;; Also note that printf output is buffered, and does not automatically ;; flush at any time, not even when printing newlines. Thus the last few lines ;; of output may never appear if your program exits before the buffer is ;; flushed. Use (flush) or a (println ...) call to force flushing of the buffer.
