Comments
In BASIC-256, comments are used to explain the program code. Comments help and enable us
to understand the way, a program works. In BASIC-256, comments start with single quote(#).
During the execution of the program, BASIC-256 ignores the line that starts with single quote.
The BASIC-256 editor shows all comments in green colour, so you can easily tell them apart from
the lines of actual code. For Example:
Tech
Funda
To open new BASIC-256:
Ctrl + N

STATEMENTS
Every line of a program is a statement and every statement is an instruction for the computer.
Let's discuss some of the statements of BASIC-256.
PRINT Statement
BASIC-256 uses the PRINT statement to display the output in the Text Output Area. The syntax
of the PRINT statement is as follows:
PRINT "text to be printed"
For Example:
PRINT "Welcome to Orange Education"
Preceding statement prints the Welcome to Orange Education message in the Text Output Area.
You can use the semicolon with the PRINT statement to show the output in the same line.
Example 1:
PRINT "Your age is: ";
PRINT 15
The preceding statements prints "Your age is: 15".
Example 2:
PRINT "The number is: ";
PRINT 123
The number is: 123
Example 3:
PRINT "The current year is: ";
PRINT 2025
The current year is: 2025
