VAL
A$
Try changing A$ to more complicated things & doing the same, e.g.
LET
A$="
ATN
1*4"

2. The string "" with no characters is called the empty or null string. It is only string whose length is 0.
Remember that spaces are significant and an empty string is not the same as one containing spaces.
Do not confuse it with the quote image,
""
(a single token, shifted Q). This is a special device to get over
the fact that you cannot write an ordinary string quote in the middle of a string (why not?). When the quote
image appears in a string that has its quotes at the end (for instance in the listing of a program), it shows
up as two quote symbols, to distinguish it from the ordinary quote; but when it is displayed by a
PRINT
statement, it is as just one quote symbol.
Try
PRINT
"X";"";"X","
""
"."
""
";"";"
""
"
