BASIC Statements II
OUTPUT Statements: These are the result of the executed program obtained by the computer.
There are three (3) major output statements and they are as follows in details:
PRINT, WRITE and LPRINT
I) The PRINT Statement: This displays what is in the computer memory on the screen. The short form of it is a question mark (?). The PRINT statement in effect helps to see the result of our operations on screen.
II) The LPRINT (Line Print) Statement: This is used to send the output of a program to the printer i.e. it is used to print on paper or any other printing material fixed on the printer and it is used in the same way with PRINT Statement.
III) The WRITE Statement: This is used to output data to the screen. It is similar to the PRINT statement. The difference between the WRITE and PRINT statement is the comma that WRITE puts between displayed items.
