sprint()

Syntax:

h.sprint(strdef, "format", args)

Description:

Prints to a NEURON (i.e. not Python) string. See printf() for the description of the format.

Example:

from neuron import h

strdef = h.ref('') h.sprint(strdef, 'There are %d %s.', 3, 'cows') print(strdef[0])

Note

Similar functionality is available for Python strings using the % operator or (for Python 2.6+) a string object's format method. As Python strings are immutable, these approaches each create a new string.

strcmp()

Syntax:

x = h.strcmp("string1", "string2")

Description:

return negative, 0, or positive value depending on how the strings compare lexicographically. 0 means they are identical.
