print

Basics

require "fmt"

fmt.Println("foo")                 // print to stdout with newline
fmt.Printf("%v", 123)              // print formatted string to stdout (no newline)
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "%v", 123)  // prints formatted string to writable object (ex. STDOUT, STERR, ..)

fmt.Sprintf("%v", 123)             // returns formatted string (no newline)
