    Not sure what info you need.

    printf("hello\n")

    tmp = "hello"

    printf("%s\n" tmp)

    %s for string

    %L for list

    %f or %2.3f floats

    %n for intergers

    Ex:

    tmp1 = "Booyaa"

    tmp2 = '(0.05 0.75)

    printf("The coords are %L. %s\n" tmp1 tmp2)

    I think you just meant to do printf("\\") . Backslash is an escape character in strings, so you need to escape the escape character and have two backslashes.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
