Input

Description

The Input statement reads a character string received from the console tab screen below the program editor window, terminated by a carriage-return. The input variable can be integer, floating-point or a string. As an option, the prompt-string is transmitted when the Input statement is encountered. This prompt-string can be either a string constant or a string variable. If the prompt-string is followed by a semi-colon, then a question mark will be printed at the end of the prompt-string. If the prompt-string is followed by a comma then no question mark will be printed.

Example

Main
     dim YourName$ as string
     input "What's your name"; YourName$
     print "Hello ";YourName$;", I'm leaving..."
End Main
