Console I/O in Hoshi-lang

Hoshi-lang provides a console standard library module for interacting with the console.

<tt>print</tt> Function

The print function is used to print text to the console.

Overloads

• print(s: str.Str) : none: Prints a Str object to the console.
• print(args: ...str.Stringable) : none: Prints a variable number of arguments to the console. Each argument must implement the Stringable interface.

Example

use console "console"
use str "str"
 
func main() : int {
    console.print("Hello, world!\n")
    console.print("The answer is ", 42, "\n")
    return 0
}

<tt>input</tt> Function

The input function is used to read a line of text from the console.

Overloads

• input() : str.Str: Reads a line of text from the console.
• input(s: str.Str) : str.Str: Prints a prompt and then reads a line of text from the console.

Example

use console "console"
use str "str"
 
func main() : int {
    let name = console.input("What is your name? ")
    let greeting = str.format("Hello, {}!\n", name)
    console.print(greeting)
    return 0
}
