Line 29 The daily sales are read from the RAM file SALEDA.DO and stored in the
array S. The array S, which will contain the sales values, is a two dimensional array
and can be thought
of
as
a table rather than a list. This array will have six rows and
five columns. The rows correspond to the weeks and the columns the days. This may
be
illustrated as follows

The· sales data will be read into the array S so that the first row will contain the five
sales values for the first week, the second row the sales values for the second week,
etc.
Line
39 The first NEXT statement defines the end
of
the inner loop and the second
NEXT statement defines the end
of
the outer loop.
Line
49
This line prints the
"heading"
for the output.
Line
59 The first statement in the line begins another FOR / NEXT loop. This loop
will display the daily sales for each week, starting with week
1,
then week 2, etc.,
and ending with week 6. The sales were stored in chronological order, so that the first
five values are the sales for the first week, the next five values are for the second
week, and
so
on.
The second statement
PRINT
Wi
displays the week number. The first time through the loop, a 1 is displayed, the
second time a 2, and the last time a 6 is displayed. Since a semicolon (;) follows the
variable W in the print statement, the carriage return is suppressed.
Line
69 The FOR statement defines an inner loop which increments through all five
days for each week. This loop will display the five daily sales for each week.
Line
79 The daily sales for each week are displayed on one line. The TAB statement
is used to neatly space the sales values along the line. The general form
of
the TAB
statement is
TAB(x)
and specifies that printing
is
to begin
in
column x + I. x may be a numeric constant,
variable or expression. The values
of
D, the expression
0*5
and the corresponding print positions are given below:
