(print)

(progn)

(print [expression [file-descriptor]])

Print, using formatted printing.

This function prints the same way as prin1, with the exception of adding an new-line character before expression and a space after it. Like prin1, the print function treats control characters literally (does not activate them).

Examples

Code	Prints	Returns
(print "First pt: ")	New line. "First pt:Space."	"First pt:"

(print "\nCompany\005: ")	New line.	"\nCompany\005: "
	"\nCompany\005:Space."

NOTE The difference between the print function and LISP's other print-related functions (for example, prin1 and princ is that print automatically includes a new-line character before expression and adds a space after expression).
