----------------------------------- colinrip666 Fri Jun 06, 2003 2:25 pm put? ----------------------------------- what does put mean?????? :oops: ----------------------------------- Martin Fri Jun 06, 2003 2:47 pm ----------------------------------- Brand new to the programming scene, I take it :P All that put does is 'puts' some text onto the screen. Text can include variables, strings as well as numbers put "HELLO" puts 'HELLO' on the screen put 5 puts '5' on the screen put 3 + 7 puts '10' on the screen (3 + 7 = 10) ----------------------------------- Mephi Fri Jun 06, 2003 6:38 pm ----------------------------------- use quotes for exactly what you want on the screen, say u want 3 + 7 on the screen, then do put "3 + 7" but if u wanted to actually do 3+ 7 and output the answer dont use quotes, such as put 3 + 7 which would output 10, and use commas to separate variables, like put "Hi ", name, "!" ----------------------------------- naoki Fri Jun 06, 2003 8:00 pm ----------------------------------- or put : file, name as a way of storing information into a textfile ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Jun 06, 2003 9:20 pm ----------------------------------- maybe you should read some of the tutorials??
