INPUT
Format
Explanat ion |
INPUT [<message > ;] < variable >[,<variable>] ...
Abbreviated Format
The INPUT statement reads data entered during program execution and assigns it
to <variable>.
When an INPUT statement is encountered during program execution, execution stops,
a question mark appears, and the cursor blinks to indicate that the program is wait-
ing for data. If <message> is specified, the message is displayed instead of the
question mark. After data is typed in from the keyboard and [ CR ] is pressed, the
data is assigned to < variable >, then program execution resumes. The types of the
data and <variable> must be the same. Character constants can be entered without
double quotes. In such cases, any leading or trailing spaces are ignored. However,
if leading or trailing spaces or commas are to be included in the constant, enclose
the entire character string in double quotes.
Example 10 INPUT A,B$ vo. Allows data to be entered and displays ?. When you
have entered the data, the program assigns the first
item to variable A and the second item to variable BS.
20 INPUT "A="; A........... Displays message ‘‘A="" and waits for data to be
typed in.
GET
Format GET <variable>
Explanation The GET statement checks whether any key on the keyboard is being pressed, and
if so, assigns the key value to the variable specified in <variable>. The variable
will be left empty (0 for a numeric variable or null for a string variable) if no keys
are pressed,
With numeric variables, this statement allows a single digit (from 0 to 9) to be en-
tered; with string variables, it allows a single character to be entered. Any non-numeric
value entered for a numeric variable will be ignored.
10 GET AS: IF AS="' '' THEN 10
20 PRINT A$
30 END
This program displays a character entered from the keyboard if the character is
printable.
