Lua Prints

[CL0NED]

Print is one of the the most basic functions in roblox scripting and it have many useful functions. It is a fairly easy method of tuple of parameters. The method is shown in the ROBLOX Studio's output box of whatever string is entered or if it's a polynomial within the parameters. For example:

print("Hello, world!")

In the output it would show

Hello, world!


Also,

print("Hello"," world!")

Would make

Hello world!

If you want to use the print function for maths you would do

print(1+1)

In the output it would show

2

You should not do this if you want to do maths.

print("1+1")

This would just output

1+1

You can also input variables into the parameters

a = "Hey guys"

print(a)

This would output

Hey guys

You can also do this,

a = 1+1

print(a)

This would output

2

in addition you can also do this

a = 1

print(5+a)

This would output

6

Usage
The print function does not interact with the workspace service at all, developers use
the print function for debugging and to check if a certain action has been performed in a script.

Doesn't Python use a similar method of printing text?

In fact it is, Interesting! I wonder if Lua and Python share other similarities as well.

Also take a look at this thread: How to insert code into threads to add code using BBCodes.

Thanks, and i'll look into inserting code into thread, it took my ages to colour them

I'm not going to lie I kind of chuckled when I saw it. I was thinking to myself 'Wow, that must have taken a long time to do'

Nice Tutorial. I'm sure this would be great for People interested in learning Lua(Maybe even Python, as Lua does kind of have a similar Syntax to Python). Not only does this Benefit People wanting to learn Lua in general(Like me), it will also Benefit the new ROBLOX Developers that are coming to CodeForum.org

Again, great Tutorial.
