string—a string.
output-stream—an output stream designator. The default is standard output.
start, end—bounding index designators of string.
The defaults for start and end are 0
and nil
, respectively.
write-string
writes the characters of
the subsequence of string bounded by start and end
to output-stream.
write-line
does the same thing,
but then outputs a newline afterwards.
(prog1 (write-string "books" nil :end 4) (write-string "worms")) ▷ bookworms → "books" (progn (write-char #\*) (write-line "test12" *standard-output* :end 5) (write-line "*test2") (write-char #\*) nil) ▷ *test1 ▷ *test2 ▷ * → NIL
*standard-output*
,
*terminal-io*
.
write-line
and write-string
return string,
not the substring bounded by start and end.
(write-string string) ≡ (dotimes (i (length string) (write-char (char string i))) (write-line string) ≡ (prog1 (write-string string) (terpri))
