• K E Y f u n c t i o n
Thi s f u nct i o n i s used t o read one charact e r i n t o t h e charact e r vari a bl e by pressi n g one

input, program execution will proceed sequentially.
Format: character variable = KEY
A$. $, etc. are used for the character variable.
Example:
1 0 A $ = K E Y
2 0 I F A $ = ^ A ' T H E N 1 0 0
30 IF A$= '*8' THEN 200
4 0 I F A $ = T H E N 3 0 0
5 0 G O T O 1 0
This program shows the data input using the KEY function and a portion of the
distribution. However, a determination will be made using the IF statements whether
the character data read by the KEY functi o n on l i n e 10 was i n put or not. Usi n g the
KEY function, even if the HQ Key is not pressed, the first key input only will be read.
However, since program execution will not stop as it does when using an INPUT
statement, an input await condition is achieved by incorporating the following IF
s t a t e m e n t s .
The IF statements on lines 20 through 40 are judgement commands and perform
distribution using character variables which were input using the KEY function. For
details concerning IF statements, refer to page 48.

A PRINT statement is used to display the calculation result or data. It displays the
character string, contents of the variable and calculation result following the command.
