Difference between print and println in Swift

print in Swift

In Swift, print() is a function that prints a message to standard output. It takes one or more arguments, which can be any value or expression, and separates them with a space by default. print can’t format anything, it simply takes a string and print it.

Example:

import Foundation
print("Welcome to Webeduclick!")

Output:

Welcome to Webeduclick!

println in Swift

The println() function works similarly to print(), but it adds a newline character at the end of the message. This function prints messages in the Xcode console when debugging apps just like the print function.

Example (Swift 1.x):

println("Hello World!")

Output:

Hello World!

Noted: This prints “Hello World!” and moves the cursor to the next line.
