How to print without skipping a line in Nim

Question

I would like to print without skipping lines in Nim.

this is my code by far

int i = 1
for i in countup(1, 10):
  echo "number: "
  echo i

I would like the output to be:

number: (i value)
...

instead of:

number:
(i value)

You can also write to stdout directly with

stdout.write "number: "
echo i

which will print a newline after printing the value of i

Compared to the other answer, this is the way to go if you want a REPL input: `stdout.write "insert something\n> "` – Nils Lindemann Oct 10 '22 at 14:09

Convert i to a string with the $ operator, then concatenate the strings using the & operator.

echo "number: " & $i

You can simply `echo "number: ", i`, without concatenating and forcing conversion. In my opinion, this leads to cleaner code. – Andrea T. Aug 18 '20 at 13:20
