Custom printing of struct?

Ahmed_Salih · December 30, 2021, 11:36am

If I have a struct with some arbitrary values, how can I make a function, such that when I call “print” or “println” it will print the struct in the way I define?

Kind regards

You can overload the Base.show(io::IO, obj::MyType) function.

See the manual on custom pretty printing.
