print(obj [,nl])

:: Displays (or outputs) obj.

return

0

obj

arbitrary

flag (arbitrary)

• Displays (or outputs) obj.
• It normally adds linefeed code to cause the cursor moving to the next line. If 0 or 2 is given as the second argument, it does not add a linefeed. If the second argument is 0, the output is simply written in the buffer. If the second argument is 2, the output is flushed.
• The return value of this function is 0. If command print(rat); is performed at the top level, first the value of rat will be printed, followed by a linefeed, followed by a 0 which is the value of the function and followed by a linefeed and the next prompt. (If the command is terminated by a `$', e.g., print(rat)$, The last 0 will not be printed. )
• Formatted outputs are not currently supported. If one wishes to output multiple objects by a single print() command, use list like [obj1,...], which is not so beautiful, but convenient to minimize programming efforts.
