Problem with printing to a console

Hello,
I'm here again I wrote a function myself to do exploratory analysis with one function
But i got only the results of View, str in my console. (see under the code example)

exploratory<-function(dataset)
{
  data<-dataset
  #content dataframe
  print("inhoud dataframe")
  View(data)
  head(data)
  str(data)
  print("structuur dataset, rowxcolomns, names of row")
  data<-dataset
  dim(data)

  colnames(data)
  
  print("summary of dataset")
  summary(data)
 
  #missing values
  print("missing values are")
  data<-dataset
  is.na(data)
  
  print("positions missing values")
  anyNA<-which(is.na(data))
  #basic plot
  plot(data)

}

Result in my console with dataset mtcars

exploratory(mtcars)
[1] "inhoud dataframe"
'data.frame': 32 obs. of 11 variables:

[1] "structuur dataset, rowxcolomns, names of row"
[1] "summary of dataset"
[1] "missing values''

note that str() has no return value, so it can output to the console, but its output cannot be assigned to a variable, unless you capture its output with for example

str_output <- capture.output(str(mtcars))

View() also doesn't return anything

thx for all how did a resaerch for it. I found a solution on my own with trial and error
I just set print before each item i wanted to see in the console
