.. function:: sprint
Syntax:
``h.sprint(strdef, "format", args)``
Description:
Prints to a NEURON (i.e. not Python) string. See :func:`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.
.. function:: 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.
