WRITE Statement

 Action

 Sends data to the screen.

 Syntax


  WRITE  expressionlist


 Remarks

 The argument  expressionlist specifies one or more values to be written on
 the screen, separated by commas, with double quotation marks around the
 strings and no spaces around numbers.

 If  expressionlist is omitted, a blank line is written. If  expressionlist
 is included, the values of the expressions are written to the screen. The
 expressions in the list can be numeric and-or string expressions. They must
 be separated by commas.

 When the printed items are written, each item is separated from the last by
 a comma. Printed strings are delimited by quotation marks. After the last
 item in the list is printed, BASIC inserts a carriage-return-and-line-feed
 sequence. The  WRITE statement writes numeric values without leading or
 trailing spaces.

 Example

 The following example shows the difference between the  PRINT and  WRITE
 statements.

 CLS         ' Clear screen.

 A=80 . B=90 . C$="That's all." . D=-1.0E-13

 WRITE A,B,C$,D

 PRINT A,B,C$,D



 Output

 80,90,"That's all.",-1E-13
  80            90           That's all.  -1E-13
