<i> echo: </i> Printing strings command

|
|
<p> In computing, echo is a command in Unix operating systems that outputs the
|
|
strings it is being passed as arguments. <br>
|
|
It is a command typically used in
|
|
shell scripts and batch files to output status text to the screen or a
|
|

<h3>How to use</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> To use this simple command just type "echo" with the topic we want to
|
|
print. The computer will return your argument as a string, for example,
|
|
<pre><code> echo hello world</pre></code>
|
|
will return hello world.
