Logging

You can log your own messages in the console from your program. There are three methods defined in the Standard module: printN, printS and clearConsole. The printN procedure prints a number, the printS procedure prints a string and clearConsole empties the console.

#include "lib/modules/standard.whl"

proc main()
    printS("Hello console") ; Print a string...
    sleep(2)
    clearConsole() ; Clear the console...
    printS("Number of seconds after sleep...")
    printN(2) ; Print a number
end
