# Show String
|
|
|
|
Show a sting on the [LED screen](/device/screen). It will slide left if it is bigger than the screen.
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
basic.showString("Hello!")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
* `text` is a [String](/types/string). It can contain letters, numbers, and punctuation.
|
|
* `interval` is an optional [Number](/types/number). It means the number of milliseconds before sliding the [String](/types/string) left by one LED each time. Bigger intervals make the sliding slower.
|
|
|
|
## Examples:
|
|
|
|
To show the word **Hello**:
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("Hello")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To show what is stored in a [String](/types/string) variable:
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
let s = "Hi"
|
|
basic.showString(s)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Other show functions
|
|
|
|
* Use [show number](/reference/basic/show-number) to show a number on the [LED screen](/device/screen).
|
|
* Use [show animation](/reference/basic/show-animation) to show a group of pictures on the screen, one after another.
