BASIC FUNCTIONS
SECTION 5. 17
PRINT
5.17.11 Function PRIIIT displays data on the LCD screen.
Syntax
PRINI' expressions[;]
or
? expressions
The question mark is exactly equivalent
to PRINI'
Example PRINI' X,Y ,Z$
Prints the values of the three variables
X,Y, and Z$ in
columns 1, 14, and 28 and finishes with CR/LF. A PRINT
statement with no expressions just performs the CR/LF
functions.
Remarks The comma between the expressions move the print cursor to
the next zone, where each zone is fourteen spaces wide.
The use of semi-colons causes the values to be printed
together without gaps. However, numerical data leaves a
space at the start for the minus sign, and includes one
blank space afterwards. A semi-colon at the end of the
line suppresses the CR/LF.
