Execute this program. The output should appear as:
MY NAME IS LEE
Ok
•
The printing appears all in one line because the semicolon instructs the Computer to
continue printing immediately after the first line is printed. The space after "IS" in
the first line was added so that the words "IS" and "LEE" would not run together.
If
you wanted to space the name further apart, you could add more spaces after "IS"
or you could add spaces before "LEE" in line 20.
Another way to space the printing is to use a comma instead of a semicolon. Retype
line 10 so that it reads:
10 PRINT "MY NAME IS ",
Now list the program and it should read:
LIST
10 PRINT "MY NAME IS "
20 PRINT "LEE"
Ok
Run this program. The output should appear as:
NAME IS L.EE
This time "IS" and "LEE" are spaced several columns apart. The comma in the first
line means "begin printing in the next field" (more on fields later).
