Printing on screen.

[hessu]

In tex Liberty basic I write:

a=5
print"number is ";5
and I get number is 5

How can I do that in Pure basic
the command debug is so confusing

Code: Select all

a = 5 
Debug "number is " + Str(a) 

OpenConsole() 

PrintN("number is " + Str(a))

Input() 

CloseConsole()

Even shorter: no need Str() in some cases

PB does an automatic number transtyping if the line starts with a string
(even if empty string "")

Code: Select all

a = 5
Debug "number is " + a

OpenConsole()

PrintN("number is " + a)

Input()

CloseConsole()

Thank you.

Note that debug should not be used for final programs, only for debugging.

Code: Select all

a = 1
Debug "1+1 is not 2, it's " + a + 1

Best to always format your numbers and not rely on implied behavior.
Use str(),strD(),roll your own, etc.
