The second set of commands send data to be printed on the current line plus a paper movement instruction to the printer. Note that in contrast to the ASA control characters, the IBM machine print control characters ask the printer to firstly print the data on the current line, and then secondly advance the paper.
PRINT displays a message on the screen or other output device. INPUT asks the user to enter the value of a variable. The statement may include a prompt message. TAB used with PRINT to set the position where the next character will be shown on the screen or printed on paper. AT is an alternative form. SPC prints out a number of space characters.
LibreOffice Basic is a programming language similar to Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) but based on StarOffice Basic. It is available in Writer, Calc and Base. It is used to write small programs known as "macros", with each macro performing a different task, such as counting the words in a paragraph. [101]
An academic year consists of two semesters: Semester 1 from January to May and Semester 2 from June to November, with examinations at the end of each semester. The overall academic performance of a student in an academic year determines his/her promotion to the next study year in the next academic year. Failing requires repeating the study year.
This reduces program size and accelerates execution. Listing a program then decodes the token to its reserved word which are all in upper case in the token table (it was this method which revealed the presence of DEC$ in BASIC 1.0 - see below). When saving a basic program, the fully tokenized form is saved in a binary format.
The Computer Language Benchmarks Game site warns against over-generalizing from benchmark data, but contains a large number of micro-benchmarks of reader-contributed code snippets, with an interface that generates various charts and tables comparing specific programming languages and types of tests.
To save memory, the storage can be reduced to one array plus two line buffers. One line buffer is used to calculate the successor state for a line, then the second line buffer is used to calculate the successor state for the next line. The first buffer is then written to its line and freed to hold the successor state for the third line.
