Ambiguity (unclarity) in vex api documentation

Programming Support

I have a lot of questions on some vague details in the vex api documentation, so I’ll condense all of them here.

  • Difference between clear_line() and clear_row()
  • Difference between `new_line()
2

Clear_line and clear_row do the same thing, we changed the API a few years ago but kept the old function so existing code did not break.

what about new_line() and next_row()?

Same thing, the API was changed.

Another question about unclarity (this probably isn’t the best way to do it but I don’t want to make another whole topic)

what about under the print function when it talks about the “sep” argument

It says that the default is " ", but there is not a space between each of my letters

what does this mean, or was it just a typo?

Yes, a typo, default is “”, perhaps send feedback from that page and the education team will get it fixed.
