0. There's
a new aspect to this program,
though. The semicolons at the end of the lines told BASIC that
those lines were to be continued.
Therefore,
BASIC didn't send
a carriage return and line feed at the end of those lines. We just
did this to illustrate that all these control codes can be used in
the middle of a line. It's easy to underline, overline or italicize on-
ly part of a line.
n Superscripts
and subscripts
Your printer can print in two different heights of characters.
The smaller characters are called superscripts and subscripts and
are half the height of normal characters.
Superscripts print even-
ly with the tops of regular printing while subscripts print evenly
with the bottom of regular printing. They are frequently used to
reference
footnotes,
and in mathematical
formulas.
Table 4-5 has the codes for using superscripts
and subscripts.
