Usage[edit | edit source]
print ( [ LIST ] )[edit | edit source]
The print function is variadic and is used to produce simple standardized output. A comma separated list of items for output is provided in the argument list.
Examples[edit | edit source]
print ("Hello")
The newline is automatic[edit | edit source]
In lua, the print function automatically outputs a newline, so there is no need to embed a newlineescape sequence into the output string.
Supression of the automatic newline[edit | edit source]
The write command provides the same functionality as the print function, but does not automatically output the newline character.
