Write

Writes values separated by commas, with strings in double quotes.

Syntax

Write [ expressionlist ]

Parameters

• expressionlist

Description

Outputs the values in expressionlist to the screen. The values are separated with commas, and strings are enclosed in double quotes. Numeric values with an absolute value of less than one are prefixed with a zero (0) if none is given (e.g. 0.5, -0.123). Floating-point numbers with absolute values greater than or equal to 10^16, or with absolute values greater than 0 and less than 10^-5 are printed in scientific notation (e.g. 1.8e+019, 3e-005)

If no expression list is given, Write outputs a carriage return.

Remarks

Differences from QB

• QBASIC might print format floating-point values in slightly different ways.

will produce the output:
