| * **Printing values and text** - The ''print()'' command will output any value called from within the parentheses. You can print variables and attributes from your code as a way of checking what numbers the simulation has calculated. The following code creates a conical object named ''IceCreamCone'', and the ''print(IceCreamCone.size.x)'' command prints the x-component of the object's size attribute. If you want to print text, it must be transformed into a "string" of letters by using quotation marks within the ''print()'' command. | * **Printing values and text** - The ''print()'' command will output any value called from within the parentheses.
