p5.js print() function

The elements can be separated by using quotes (“”) and joined with the addition operator (+). Use print(‘\n’) to display blank line.

Syntax:

print(c)

Parameters: The function accepts single parameter c which stores the any combination of Number, String, Object, Boolean, Array to print.
