^title System Class
|
||||
|
||||
The System class is a grab-bag of functionality exposed by the VM, mostly for
|
||||
use during development or debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
## Static Methods
|
||||
|
||||
### System.**clock**
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the number of seconds (including fractional seconds) since the program
|
||||
was started. This is usually used for benchmarking.
|
||||
|
||||
### System.**gc**()
|
||||
|
||||
Requests that the VM perform an immediate garbage collection to free unused
|
||||
memory.
|
||||
|
||||
### System.**print**()
|
||||
|
||||
Prints a single newline to the console.
|
||||
|
||||
### System.**print**(object)
|
||||
|
||||
Prints [object] to the console followed by a newline. If not already a string,
|
||||
the object is converted to a string by calling `toString` on it.
|
||||
|
||||
:::wren
|
||||
System.print("I like bananas") //> I like bananas
|
||||
|
||||
### System.**printAll**(sequence)
|
||||
|
||||
Iterates over [sequence] and prints each element, then prints a single newline
|
||||
at the end. Each element is converted to a string by calling `toString` on it.
|
||||
|
||||
:::wren
|
||||
System.printAll([1, [2, 3], 4]) //> 1[2, 3]4
|
||||
|
||||
### System.**write**(object)
|
||||
|
||||
Prints a single value to the console, but does not print a newline character
|
||||
afterwards. Converts the value to a string by calling `toString` on it.
|
||||
|
||||
:::wren
|
||||
System.write(4 + 5) //> 9
|
||||
|
||||
In the above example, the result of `4 + 5` is printed, and then the prompt is
|
||||
printed on the same line because no newline character was printed afterwards.
