Symbols
- 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.
