Hi! I am a NEW scripter and i want to learn how to scripting.Can u answer my question?
It creates a message to the output and the developer console, which you can read from either of those. The developer console is accessed with F9
.
E.G. if you do
print("Hello world!") -- this is the code that you always see when you create a script
you will get in the developer console what is shown in the following link:

This is helpful for when you need to debug a script that's not working properly and need help pointing yourself in the right direction.
The print function is extremely helpful. It's like your flashlight in a dark room. Without it you'll bump into things, stub your toes, walk into a wall, etc...
In short, programming is painful without a print. You can do things like
print("Script ran through here. All good.") print("Script ran through here. Not good.") print("What is this? " .. part) for _,child in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do print("What is child? " .. child) end
It's basically like the things that see if one function goes about and is able to do it's thing. For example:
if workspace.Baseplate then print'there is a baseplate' end
That kind of thing, it's easy once you understand it :)
Anyways, hmu on Roblox if you want to learn code, my ign is trycode.
