Matthias Boehm commented on SYSTEMML-535: ----------------------------------------- This is a very useful feature that come up many times. However, I would recommend to overload our existing print function w/ multiple arguments similar to printf. > Create printf function to format console output > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: SYSTEMML-535 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-535 > Project: SystemML > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: APIs > Reporter: Deron Eriksson > > Currently it is difficult to format console output in DML/PyDML. A printf > built-in function would be useful for formatting console output. Matrix data > by its nature is tabular, and a printf function (such as in C, Java, etc) is > a convenient way to align results into readable columns. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
