Printing and Displaying

Prism provides two general methods for visualizing data: printing and displaying.

• Printing data shows the value(s) of the data at a specified point during program execution.

• Displaying data causes its value(s) to be updated every time the program stops execution.

Printing or displaying to the history region of the command window prints out the numeric or character values of the data in standard fashion.

Printing or displaying to a graphical window creates a visualizer, which provides you with various options as to how to represent the data.
