How many ways do you know ?
According to my little research, there are 3 different ways you can log messages in 𝗡𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗷𝘀.
1- 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲.𝗹𝗼𝗴: We all know this one and have used it extensively in Javascript. What people don't know that under the hood it actually uses 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.𝘀𝘁𝗱𝗼𝘂𝘁.𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 with a line break.
2- 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.𝘀𝘁𝗱𝗼𝘂𝘁.𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲: Unlike the previous one, this outputs messages on the same line; so you're going to need to manually add like breaks.
3- 𝗳𝘀.𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗰: Also requires manual line breaks. Writes to 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.𝘀𝘁𝗱𝗼𝘂𝘁.𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 like 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲.𝗹𝗼𝗴. This method though is a little unique. It takes an integer as the first argument, something called a 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗿. To make it write to the 𝘀𝘁𝗱𝗼𝘂𝘁, you have to set it to 1. I'll talk about it in my next post.
