You want cat() instead of print(), and sprintf() is one way to get finer
control over how things are printed:

> answer <- c(2,1,0,4,5)
> print(answer); cat(sprintf("The best fit is with %.0f-degree polynomial\n",
                              which.min(answer)-1))
[1] 2 1 0 4 5
The best fit is with 2-degree polynomial
