Now let’s finish this by typing:

50 PRINT "FIRST NUMBER"; A

60 PRINT "SECOND NUMBER"; B

70 PRINT "THE SUM IS"; C

RUN

You will see the following on the display:

FIRST NUMBER 8

SECOND NUMBER 15

THE SUM IS 23

(Don’t forget to press Enter after you have seen each line to get the next one displayed.)

Let’s take a look at the print statements on lines 50 through 70. The words in quotes

are called a STRING or a LITERAL. Whatever you put between a set of quotation marks

will appear on the display exactly the way you typed it. Don’t forget that quotation marks

come in pairs!

Next, the semicolon tells the print statement to print the next thing immediately to the right

of the end of the string. This is the number 8, which is the value in memory box A.

Suppose that you asked the computer to multiply 3 million times 3 million.
