Blank Spaces
In general, a blank space can OCCur almost anywhere in a program
without affecting the execution of the program. However. any extra
blank spaces you put in that are not required will be deleted when
the program line is displayed by the EDIT, NUM, or LIST
command. There are some places where blank spaCPB must not
appear, specifically:
(1) within a line number
(2) within a resnved word
(3} within a numeric constant
(4) within a variable name
The following are some examples of incorrect use of blank spaces.

(1) 1 00 Pl<.lNT "HELLO'
(2) 110 PR INT "HOW ARE YOU?"
(3) 120 LET A = 1 00
(4} 130 LET CO ST "" 24.95
