I got a dictionary for my 6th birthday from my Great Grandmother. I spent the next couple of years reading it and creating an index at the front for my favourite words.

They probably mean "abscond":
[əbˈskänd]
VERB
1.leave hurriedly and secretly, typically to avoid detection of or arrest for an unlawful action such as theft:
"she absconded with the remaining thousand dollars"

'Abseilen' is a normal German word and indeed means to lower yourself down with a rope. I can assure you that we also use it when we sneak away from something where we are expected to stay, like taking the first opportunity to sneak out of a boring party. Abscond could be a good translation, if it can be used when it's not quite abot a crime.

Hi All,
Am I the only one who used to use printf() in C (& C++, never a language I liked) as a way of seeing how the program was pasting data sent to it these days it's print it to a label or the list box rather than just dump it on screen no fancy formatting etc...

printf (and all its variants) is still the debugger in case where there is no debugger (I had a case with micro-controllers, when the only way I found was to write debug info to the second serial port and listen to it with an other application - kind of printf)

The first program I ever paid money for was a debugger. That was around 1979 and I still have it on tape. Sometimes I even use it when testing new stuff in the emulator.

I debugged image alteration and analysis algorithms via printf before knowing of the debugger.

By pure luck my first program I ever bought was a debugger, so I never really had to resort to doing something like that. At least until the day came when I had to debug a multithreaded monster where hitting a breakpoint would have been fatal.

Luckily I use VisualStudio so for mono-process multi-thread there's the option of blocking every thread and noone gets hurt usually (except the timeouts based on the system high resolution timer). Multiprocess multithread isn't something I ever did so I wouldn't know, but without careful design and tracing they should be hell...

Even those who knew they had a debugger often preferred printf for many debug tasks.

Try Console.WriteLine or Debug.WriteLine: they both go to the Output pane in the Debugger.

Cosnole.Writeline IIRC is neat because it allows for output redirection for free.

Debug.WriteLine is handy, because it's permanent - it's automatically conditional on the DEBUG flag, so it doesn't add overhead in production. Console.WriteLine always tries to output.
Plus, Debug writes to the Listeners collection, so you can add a more permanent trace to a file or similar as well as the Output pane.

Nice, I knew that it is conditionally compiled - as it was Debug.Print in the old VB6, but I didn't know about the Listeners collection.

Yeah but no, WriteLine() does the same thing but is harder to type! I have even used to some one else 'oh just use a printf() to a label' and got a blank look... printf was for printing every one knew what it did! WriteLine() sense changes as opposed to what it's being pointed to printf() just sent stuff. I'm being grumpy to day, I got to have my picture taken for the web site...

I think Write is closer to printf, since WriteLine inserts newline and printf doesn't.
If you're using C# 6, you can add using static System.Console at the top of your file, and then you can just type Write instead of Console.Write. That way it's not much more typing than printf, aside from having the hold shift to type the capital W.
