spc
Syntax:
SPC
(<numerical expression>)
Description: Function. Outputs blanks in a
PRINT
or
LPRINT
statement
<numerical expression> may be any integer expression with a valid range: [0…255].
Non-integer expressions will be rounded. If the expression is negative, 0 will be assumed.
This function is used to output blanks in a
PRINT
or
LPRINT
statement. If the number of blanks
exceeds the terminal’s line width, the output will wrap around to the next line.
Remarks:
Note:
1.
SPC
must be used in conjunction with a
PRINT
or
LPRINT
statement. It cannot be used
on its own.
2. If the numerical expression is greater than 255 then an “ILLEGAL FUNCTION
CALL” error (code B005) will result.
Examples:
> 10 PRINT "HELLO";"WORLD"
> 20 PRINT "HELLO";SPC(5);"WORLD"
> RUN
HELLOWORLD
HELLO
WORLD

sqr
Syntax:
SQR
(<numerical expression>)
Description:
Function. Calculates the square root of numerical expression.
Remarks: <numerical expression> may be any integer, single-precision floating point or double-precision
floating point expression. If <numerical expression> is negative then an “ILLEGAL FUNCTION
CALL” error (code B005) will result.
The return type is single-precision floating point if the argument is of type integer or single-
precision floating point. If the argument is of type double-precision floating point then the return
type is also double-precision floating point.
Examples:
> 10 A = 4
> 20 PRINT SQR(A)
> RUN
2
