Serial

## println()

#### Description

Prints data to the serial port as human-readable ASCII text followed by a carriage return character (ASCII 13, or '\r') and a newline character (ASCII 10, or '\n'). This command takes the same forms as Serial.print().

#### Syntax

Serial.println(val)
Serial.println(val, format)

#### Parameters

val: the value to print - any data type

format: specifies the number base (for integral data types) or number of decimal places (for floating point types)

#### Returns

None

#### Example:

    /*
      Analog input

     reads an analog input on analog in 0, prints the value out.

     */

    int analogValue = 0;    // variable to hold the analog value

    void setup() {
      // open the serial port at 9600 bps:
      Serial.begin(9600);
    }

    void loop() {
      // read the analog input on pin 0:
      analogValue = analogRead(0);

      // print it out in many formats:
      Serial.println(analogValue);       // print as an ASCII-encoded decimal
      Serial.println(analogValue, DEC);  // print as an ASCII-encoded decimal
      Serial.println(analogValue, HEX);  // print as an ASCII-encoded hexadecimal
      Serial.println(analogValue, OCT);  // print as an ASCII-encoded octal
      Serial.println(analogValue, BIN);  // print as an ASCII-encoded binary
      Serial.println(analogValue, BYTE); // print as a raw byte value

      // delay 10 milliseconds before the next reading:
      delay(10);
    }
