Printf() 🖨️

printf() is a function that can output or print text. A function is a piece of code that runs a set of code to do something.

Note

Functions will be covered in-depth in a later chapter.

To use this function, you have to write printf() with a string inside of the parentheses.

Ex.

printf("print me!");
printf("some string");
printf("a really really really long string");

Recall

A string is some text surrounded by double-quotes. See Strings 🧵 for more details.

int main() {
    printf("My ");

    printf("is ");
    printf("Bob! ");
    return 0;
