Use of Semicolon in the PRINT statement

 

The different quantities appearing in the list of the PRINT statement can be separated by semicolons. For instance, we can specify
33 PRINT A; B; -8; D/E
When the semicolon is used as the delimiter, there is less space between the printed values. i.e values are ‘squeezed’ and we get results in a ‘packed’ format.
Eg:
34 PRINT 2116; 126; -67
The printed output may appear as
2116 126 -67
35 PRINT “GOBIND” ; ”SINGH”
The output generated appear as
GOBINDSINGH
If you wish to have a space between the words GOBIND and SINGH, specify statement 35 as
35 PRINT “GOBIND”; “^”; “SINGH”
Or as
35 PRINT “GOBIND^” ; “SINGH”
semicolons and commas may be mixed in the PRINT list items
Eg:
38 PRINT “P=”; -20, “Q=”; 7777
This generates the output as
P = -20 Q= 7777
Program :
Let X = 1.11, Y = 2.22, Z= 3.33. Develop a program to compute X2+Y2 +Z2 and
X3+Y3 +Z3.
10 LET X=1.11
20 LET Y=2.22
30 LET Z=3.33
40 LET S =X^2+Y^2+Z^2
50 LET C= X^3+Y^3+Z^3
60 PRINT X, Y, Z, S, C
70 STOP
80 END
