# say

[Built-ins](README.md)

Canonical ID: `core.print`. Nederlands: `zeg`.

Writes values in their argument order, separated by one space, then writes one newline. It accepts any Pliro value and returns None. Use several arguments for mixed text and numbers; no explicit conversion is needed. Calling it does not wait for input or begin a new cooperative execution slice.

## Signature

```text
say(value, ...)
```

## Arguments

| Parameter | Type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| `value, ...` | Any | One or more values; no maximum arity in the language. |

## Return value

`None`.

## Example

```pliro
# language: en
let score = 12
say "Pliro", score, true
say([1, 2], {"score": score})
```

Console output: `Pliro 12 true`, followed by a second line containing the list and map. The value returned by each call is None.

## Notes and common mistakes

Use the function name for your source language. Its [canonical ID](../concepts/canonical-identity.md) is a shared documentation label; you do not type that ID as a call. Giving your own variable or function the same name can hide the built-in. Supply the documented [arguments](../concepts/parameters-and-arguments.md) and value types. Pliro reports mismatches when checking can detect them, or when the call runs.
