Shortcut Functions

These functions are aliases for console methods:

Function	Equivalent
imprimir(texto)	consola.mostrar
imprimir_error(texto)	consola.mostrar_error
imprimir_advertencia(texto)	consola.mostrar_advertencia
imprimir_informacion(texto)	consola.mostrar_informacion
imprimir_exito(texto)	consola.mostrar_exito

// Both do the same thing
consola.mostrar("Hello")
imprimir("Hello")

Displaying Non-Text Values

Convert values to text before displaying:

entero numero = 42
lista<entero> lista = [1, 2, 3]
jsn datos = { nombre: "Ana" }

consola.mostrar(numero.texto())
consola.mostrar(lista.texto())
consola.mostrar(datos.texto_formateado())

Or use text interpolation:

entero edad = 25
consola.mostrar(t"You are {edad} years old")

Best Practices

• Use appropriate message types for clarity
• Provide clear prompts for user input
• Validate user input after receiving it
• Use pedir_secreto for sensitive data
