the
Ot
combination (press and hold
O
, then
press
t
, then release both keys). Pressing
O
stops the interaction with the terminal.
There are also commands for outputting data in the
Graphics section. In particular, the commands TEXTOUT
and TEXTOUT_P can be used for test output.
This example prompts the user to enter a value for the
radius of a circle, and prints the area of the circle on the
terminal.
EXPORT AREACALC()
BEGIN
LOCAL radius;
INPUT(radius, "Radius of Circle",:"r =
","Enter radius",1);
π
PRINT("The area is "
+ *radius^2);
END;
Notice the use of the LOCAL variable for the radius, and
the naming convention that uses lower case letters for the
local variable. Adhering to such a convention will
improve the readability of your programs.
