"PAPER"
(in
your
disk
program) would
print
this in
your
disk
file:
PENPAPER*
The Computer would
read
PEN

(with
all
the blank
spaces)
back
into
memory
as
one
item.
(Reason; although
the
Computer
nor-
mally
interprets
blank
spaces as a
delimeter,
it
will
not
interpret
them
in this
way when
they follow
a
string
and
precede a number).

AN
ATTRACTIVE
DISK
FILE
The Computer would
read
PENPAPER
back
into
memory
as
one
item.
(Reason: there
is
not
a
"deli-
meter"
—
a
comma,
quotation
mark,
or space
—
to
separate
PEN
from
PAPER).
The

JONES

MARY*
The Computer would
read
JONES,
MARY
back
as
two
items:
JONES
and
MARY.
(Reason:
The
Computer
interprets the
comma
as a
delimeter).
