The C printf way is very primative .. no new languages have used it in
ages and even C++ tried to replace it with cout and overloading .
I prefer the Java /C# way which is best from a coding simplicity and
safety point of view but can handle different cases.
stream.Write ( str1 + str2 +string3) ( you can go Console.WriteLine or
File but these use a stream underneath so i dont think it would make a
huge difference in performance )
I dont like print (str1 , str2 ,str3 ) as much because its not as
obvious what the method does eg in C# if str1+str2 ..etc etc is too
slow in a big loop you go to
var str =string.Format ( "This is a long string with many inserts {0} at
different points {1} , val0 , val1 ...) ;
stream.Write (str);
and if that is still too slow use stringbuilder to write direcly to the
stream.
and if that is still too slow build your own char array
It may be needed for the lib to give ok performance but i would call it
somehing obscure like internal_print so its not the default option for
every c programmer ..the default / easiest option needs to be the easiest
and safest one to program .. which c printf style is not..
