# show Value
Show a name-value-pair on the screen at the line you select.
```sig
brick.showNumber("item", 0, 1);
```
Name-value-pairs are used to report data values to the screen. If you want to show the current temperature on the screen, you might use `"temp"` as the data name for the the value.
## Parameters
* **name**: a [string](/types/string) which is the name of the data value.
**value**: a [number](/types/number) to show on the brick's screen.
**line**: The line number on the screen where the value is displayed. The line numbers for the screen start with line `1`.
## Example
Show the current amount of ambient light detected by sensor 2.
```blocks
brick.buttonEnter.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Click, function () {
brick.showValue("color", sensors.color2.light(LightIntensityMode.Ambient), 1)
})
```
