Daily Godot Tip #11: Using prints adds a space separator between things added to the print function while printt adds a tab separator (programming.dev)

This makes it easier to print out multiple things at the same time without needing to do a bunch of string concatenation

Easy way you can remember it is thinking s for space and t for tab. When you want to print normally just call print. Otherwise add s for space or t for tab on the end of the function for the separators.

That's very useful, thanks!

Does it accept arrays as an argument? If so, that'd be super useful!

What you probably want to do is write a global logger where you reference the print variant inside the logger function once and can easily change it on a single place to suit how you want to look at logs.

in python the print function has a sep argument that has a default value. Making three functions with a different spelling instead of one function with a variable argument seems kinda stinky here.

Yeah that seems weird don't it Personally i find a custom logger useful in my projects and not just because of this print weirdness.
