are printed
in
ordinary format. For example, 1E-7
is
printed
as
.0000001; 1E-8
is
printed
as
1E-08.
Double-precision numbers with 16 or fewer digits that can be

.000000000000001;
10-16
is printed
as
10-16.

Since F and N are positive numbers, PRINT inserts a space before
and after them, therefore your display should look similar to this
(depending
on
your input):
IN
THE
YEAR
2004
YOU
WILL
BE
48
YEARS
OLD
If
we had separated each expression
in
line 100 by a comma,
100
PRINT
"IN
THE
YEAR"
,F,"YOU
WILL
BE"
,N
,"

BASIC would move to the next tab position after printing each data
item.
