It's
the
trailing
semicolon
(;)
that does
the
trick. It
makes
the
end
of
one
PRINT
line
con-
tinue right
on
to the
next
PRINT
line
without
activating a carriage return.
The combination
of
TAB
and
trailing
semicolon
allows
you
almost
infinite flexibility
in
formatting the
output.
Multiple Statement Lines
As our
parting shot
in this
easy lesson, we're going
to
have
a
sneak preview of what's ahead.
Replace
lines
10 through 100
with
the following:
10
A=l
:B =
2!C = 3rD
= 4!E
=
5:F

6:G

7:H
