Print Values

Description

print prints its argument and returns it invisibly (via invisible(x)). It is a generic function which means that new printing methods can be easily added for new classes.

Usage

print(x, ...)

print.factor(x, quote = FALSE, ...)
print.ordered(x, quote = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

an object used to select a method.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

quote

logical, indicating whether or not strings should be printed with surrounding quotes.

Details

The default method, print.default has its own help page. Use methods("print") to get all the methods for the print generic.

See noquote as an example of a class whose main purpose is a specific print method.

See Also

The default method print.default, and help for the methods above; further options, noquote.

Examples

ts(1:20)#-- print  is the ``Default function'' --> print.ts(.) is called
rr <- for(i in 1:3) print(1:i)
