Parameters:
x: specified argument to be displayed
digits: defines minimal number of significant digits
na.print: indicates NA values output format

Example 1:

# R program to illustrate 
# print function 
  
# Creating a data frame 
x <- cars[1:5, ] 
  
# Calling the print() function 
# to print the above data frame 
print(x) 

Output:

  speed dist
1     4    2
2     4   10
3     7    4
4     7   22
5     8   16

Example 2:

# R program to illustrate 
# print function 
  
# Initializing a number 
x <- 15 / 7
  
# Calling the print() function 
# using digits parameter 
print(x, digits = 2) 
print(x, digits = 3) 
print(x, digits = 4) 

Output:

[1] 2.1
[1] 2.14
[1] 2.143

Example 3:

# R program to illustrate 
# print function 
  
# Creating a matrix 
x <- matrix(c(2, NA, 5, NA, 8, NA, 22, 67, 43), 
               nrow = 3, byrow = TRUE) 
  
# Calling the print() function 
# using na.print parameter 
print(x, na.print = "") 

Output:

     [, 1] [, 2] [, 3]
[1, ]    2         5
[2, ]         8
