print is an intrinsic function that displays a string to the user.  It is a standard intrinsic, though there may be some implementations where this output is not actually visible.  In implementations that have something like a standard output stream, print adds the given string to that stream, typically followed by the standard line delimiter.

Arguments
| Parameter Name | Default Value | Meaning | 
|---|---|---|
| s | "" | string to display to the user | 
| delimiter | <platform's new line> | string to follow s instead of standard delimiter | 
Usage Notes
print returns null, and so it is usually used as a statement.  As such, it does not require parentheses around its argument.
The argument defaults to an empty string, so print by itself may be used to print a blank line.
Example
print "Hello, world!"
