Symbols

QB64 and QB Symbols: [Note: All symbols below can also be used inside of literal quoted strings except for quotation marks.]

Print, Input or File Formatting

; Semicolon after a PRINT stops invisible cursor at end of printed value. Can prevent screen rolling. A Semicolon after the INPUT prompt text will display a question mark after the text.
, Comma after a PRINT tabs invisible cursor past end of printed value. After the INPUT prompt text a comma displays no Question mark.
" Quotation mark delimits the ends of a literal STRING value in a PRINT, INPUT or LINE INPUT statement.
? Question mark is a shortcut substitute for the PRINT keyword. Will change to PRINT when cursor leaves the code line.

Program Code Markers

' Apostrophe ignores a line of code or program comment and must be used before a legacy QBasic Metacommand. Same as using REM.
, Comma is used to separate DATA, SUB or FUNCTION parameter variables.
: Colons can be used to separate two procedure statements on one code line.
$ Dollar sign used as prefix denotes a legacy QBasic Metacommand, used as suffix it denotes a STRING variable.
( ) Parenthesis enclose a math or conditional procedure order, SUB or FUNCTION parameters or to pass by value.
+ Plus concatenation operator MUST be used to combine literal string values in a variable definition.
" Quotation mark designates the ends of a literal STRING value. Use CHR$(34) to insert quotes in a text STRING.
_ Underscore can be used to continue a line of code to the next program line in QB64.
