Please explain Serial.print to a dumb newbie

It simply sends whatever you print out the serial port on your arduino.

So to "see" it you would have to have something that listens to the serial port.

You could use the serial monitor in your Arduino IDE, a terminal emulation program like the Windows "Terminal" app. or a custom PC program or .....

So "Print" is somewhat of a misnomer, i personally think that serial.send would be a better name for the function.
