put?

what does put mean??????

[Martin]

Brand new to the programming scene, I take it

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]

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, "!"

or put : file, name
as a way of storing information into a textfile
