[p5.js 2.0 Beta Bug Report]: FES parameter validation for `print` not accepting multiple arguments

[limzykenneth]

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• Accessibility
• Color
• Core/Environment/Rendering
• Data
• DOM
• Events
• Image
• IO
• Math
• Typography
• Utilities
• WebGL
• Build process
• Unit testing
• Internationalization
• Friendly errors
• Other (specify if possible)

p5.js version

2.0.0-beta.4

Web browser and version

No response

Operating system

No response

Steps to reproduce this

Steps:

1. Use print() with more than 1 arguments will cause FES to print an incorrect message

   🌸 p5.js says: Expected at most 1 argument, but received more in print(). For more information, see https://p5js.org/reference/p5/print. 
   

2. It should not be printing that message as print() like console.log() accepts any number of arguments. This should either be fixed in the reference and/or in FES parameter validation logic itself.

Snippet:

function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400);
  print(1, 2);
}

@limzykenneth
Hi, i reproduced the issue and yes is printing the error but it is also printing the desired output also,

• image

the respective code -

function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400);
  const a = "jigsaw"
  // OR
  print(1, 2,3,4,5,6,"hello",a);
}

so the issue is that somehow it is triggering the message unnecessarily, please correct me if i am wrong here
