# Print Statement

**Print Statement:**

**Syntax:**

```
Whale <message>
```

**Explanation:** The `Whale` statement in Animal-Script is used to print a message to the console. The syntax consists of two components:

1. `Whale`: This keyword initiates the print statement.
2. `<message>`: This is the message that will be printed to the console. It can be a string literal or a variable containing a string value.

**Example:**

```
Whale "Hello"
```

In this example, the message "Hello" will be printed to the console.

**Output:**

```
Whale says: Hello
```

The `Whale` statement is followed by "says:" and then the message.

**Usage:**

* The `Whale` statement is useful for displaying messages, variable values, or any other information to the user during program execution.
* It can be used for debugging purposes to track the flow of the program and check the values of variables at different stages.
* The `Whale` statement is versatile and can be used in various contexts within the Animal-Script code to provide informative output to the user or developer.
