This page contains code examples of the Terminal functions.

Write Line Examples*

*

The example(s) below are using the Write Line function with the following signatures:

Signatures

C++

void write_line(string line)

C#

public static void Terminal.WriteLine(string line);
public static void SplashKit.WriteLine(string line);

Python

def write_line(line):

Pascal

procedure WriteLine(line: String)

Hello World string

The following code shows examples of using Write Line to print a string in the terminal.

C++

#include "splashkit.h"

int main()
{
    // Example 1: Print explicit string
    write_line("Hello World");

    // Example 2: Print value of string variable
    string message = "Hello World from 'message' variable";
    write_line(message);

    // Example 3: Print combination of explicit string and value of string variable
    string hello = "Hello";
    write_line(hello + " World!\nDon't forget spaces between words when printing to the terminal!");
    write_line("Otherwise you get this: " + hello + "World!");

    return 0;
}

C#

using static SplashKitSDK.SplashKit;

// Example 1: Print explicit string
WriteLine("Hello World");

// Example 2: Print value of string variable
string message = "Hello World from 'message' variable";
WriteLine(message);

// Example 3: Print combination of explicit string and value of string variable
string hello = "Hello";
WriteLine(hello + " World!\nDon't forget spaces between words when printing to the terminal!");
WriteLine("Otherwise you get this: " + hello + "World!");

Output:
