Description

Receives any number of arguments, and prints their values to stdout using the tostring function to convert them to strings. <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> print(e1,e2,...) </source>

print is not intended for formatted output, but only as a quick way to show a value, typically for debugging.

Logs are sent to Gideros Studio when the app is a Gideros Player, and to system dependent logging facility otherwise (ie. Android logcat).

For formatted output, use string.format.

Parameters

e1: (any) any argument
e2: (any) any second argument optional
...: (any) other optional arguments optional
