The PRINT statement

This statement writes the results of computations performed by the computer on the printer.
The form of the PRINT statement is



where
list --- may be constants, variables, expressions or message separated by
commas or semicolons
eg :
90 PRINT A, B, C
This will print the value stored in A, B and C
92 PRINT “PRITAM”
This will print the word PRITAM.
94 PRINT “ P =”,P
Outputs the value of variable P which is preceded by the name of the variable, that is, first will be printed P= and then the value of P.
96 PRINT 6 +7*2, A
the value of expression 6+7*2 is calculated first. It is 20. Then 20 and the value of ‘A’ are printed, in that order, on the same line.
98 PRINT
When this statement is executed, a line is skipped on the printer. Thus, this form of PRINT statement is useful to insert spaces in the output data.
