QBasic Tutorial 3 - Print Formatting - QB64



The program within Tutorial 2 does not show the user what calculations are used to make the output. Within this tutorial, print formatting will be used to show the user what calculations are being used.

Separators must be used between strings and calculations. QBasic / QB64 has two separators. The separators are the semicolon and the comma. The comma , places output in columns. The semicolon ; keeps the output next to each other.
