Description | The print() method writes data to the serial port. This is often helpful for looking at the data a program is producing or just to write data to other devices connected to the serial port. The companion method println works like print, but sends a new line character for each call to the function. Data can either be a single int, float, byte (BYTE), long, char, char[], String or a number in decimal (DEC), hexadecimal (HEX) , octal (OCT), or binary (BIN) base.
