Explanation
PRINT [<palette code>] <data> |: cn we
Abbreviated Format
?
The PRINT statement displays data on the screen. <palette code> specifies the
palette code for the colour of the text on the screen. If this code is omitted, the
palette code specified in the colour statement is assumed.
When a semicolon is used to delimit two <data> items, it causes them to be dis-
played with no extra space. A comma, on the other hand, causes 10-character tabu-
lations to be performed between the printout of each <data> item. If no <data>
item is specified, this command performs a line feed.
Numeric data is displayed by this statement in one of two formats: real number
format or exponential format. Numeric values in the range from 1 x 10°* to 1 x
10° are displayed in real number format; those beyond this range are displayed in
exponential format.

20 PRINT [3] “‘ABC’’,123 ... Displays the text data ‘‘ABC”’ and numeric data 123
with a 10-character tabulation between them, The
