# Printing

The difference between 'print()' and 'printPlain()'

You might have noticed that the functions `print()` and `printPlain()` are used for printing the output on the terminal. Here's the difference:

* Use `print()` when you just want to print the output on the terminal
  * All styles are applied as usual in this case
* Use `printPlain()` when you also want to share the output
  * For example: sending it via chat or saving it to a file
  * Styles like text- and background-colors and font styles are not applied in this case
