Introduction

One of the most essential debugging tools is the print statement. Being able to print something to the console quickly without questioning the syntax is a skill many developers hone early on. Unfortunately, not all languages print the same.

The cotr-snippets VS Code extension includes two snippets to help reduce the friction of moving to a new programming language:

• cotrPrint: Prints a single line of text to the console
• cotrPrintMulti: Prints a multi-line text to the console

This article shows what each of these snippets creates in all of the supported COTR languages.

Languages

Dart

cotrPrint

The cotrPrint snippet in Dart creates the following code:

print('Your message here');

This will print a single line of text to the console in Dart.

cotrPrintMulti

The cotrPrintMulti snippet in Dart creates the following code:

print('''
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
''');

This will print multiple lines of text to the console in Dart, with each string on a new line.

JavaScript

cotrPrint

The cotrPrint snippet in JavaScript creates the following code:

console.log('Your message here');

This will print a single line of text to the console in JavaScript.

cotrPrintMulti

The cotrPrintMulti snippet in JavaScript creates the following code:

console.log(`
