1.3.3 Printing Notation

Many of the examples in this manual print text when they are evaluated. In this manual the printed text resulting from an example is indicated by ‘-|’. The value that is returned by evaluating the expression is displayed with ‘’ (1 in the next example) and follows on a separate line.

     printf ("foo %s\n", "bar")
          -| foo bar
          ⇒ 1
