Syntax

Write [ expressionlist ]

Parameters

NameDescription
expressionlistComma-separated list of items to print

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.
