| PRINT Statement Programming Examples |
|
| These examples show the use of commas and semicolons with PRINT. |
|   |
| Example 1 |
|   |
| Here is an example of using commas in a PRINT statement to print each |
| value at the beginning of the next print zone: |
|   |
| CLS                ' Clear screen |
| X = 5 |
| PRINT X + 5, X - 5, X * (-5), X ^ 5 |
| END |
|   |
| Sample Output |
|   |
| 10            0            -25            3125 |
|   |
| Example 2 |
|   |
| In this example, the semicolon at the end of the first PRINT |
| statement makes the first two PRINT statements print on the |
| same line. The last PRINT statement prints a blank line before |
| the next prompt |
|   |
| CLS                ' Clear screen |
| DO |
|    INPUT "Input X (type 0 to quit): ", X |
|    IF X = 0 THEN |
|       EXIT DO |
|    ELSE |
|       PRINT X; "squared is"; X ^ 2; "and"; |
|       PRINT X; "cubed is"; X^3 |
|       PRINT |
|    END IF |
| LOOP |
|   |
| Sample Output |
|   |
| Input X (type 0 to quit): 9 |
| 9 squared is 81 and 9 cubed is 729 |
|   |
| Input X (type 0 to quit): 21 |
| 21 squared is 441 and 21 cubed is 9261 |
|   |
| Input X (type 0 to quit): 0 |
|   |
| Example 3 |
|   |
| In this example, the semicolons in the PRINT statement print each |
| value immediately after the preceding value. Note that a space |
| always follows a number and precedes a positive number: |
|   |
| CLS                ' Clear screen |
| FOR X = 1 TO 5 |
|   J = J + 5 |
|   K = K + 10 |
|   PRINT J; K; |
| NEXT X |
|   |
| Sample Output |
|   |
| 5  10  10  20  15  30  20  40  25  50 |
