Syntax

The argument to be printed is of a valid data type.

Example

The following example prints out a data frame with the print() function:

school_teams <- data.frame(Sport = c("Basketball", "Baseball", "Football", "Track", "Tennis", "Swim"), Coach = c("Tyler", "Blake", "Stephanie", "Jordan", "Taylor","Brooklyn"), Player_Count = c(15, 24, 22, 20, 12, 29))


print(school_teams)

This outputs the following:

       Sport     Coach Player_Count
1 Basketball     Tyler           15
2   Baseball     Blake           24
