# Log Function

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```
log()
```

{% endcode %}

The log function broadcasts a message to all players (`@a`) in the chat. It is a simplified version of the `/tellraw @a "Message"` command. You can still achieve the same result with `run(tellraw @a "your message goes here")` . 

The log function:

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```
log("String") -- String
log(1) -- Number
log(variable) -- Variable 
log(1 + 2) -- Operation
log("string"..variable) -- Concatenation 
log("string"..variable) -- Concatenation 
```

{% endcode %}
