Printing is known to be a general terminology that is used in green computing. Also, printing can be used widely when it comes to programming. In programming, the command print is a function or a statement that is used to display or output text or values to the console or the entire screen.

For instance, to use the command print to output value or text, you can use the below command:

print(“Hello, World!”)

Note

The above code would output “Hello, World!” to the entire console.

On the other hand, the term printing refers to the act of retrieving the physical characters printed or transferred to the paper. Or the process of producing a hard copy of a document or file using a printer.
