- Information about print.using
-
- Print.using is a subroutine for BASIC programs. Using this
- subroutine, you can print out numbers with a specified number of
- positions before and after the decimal point. This is useful
- for programs that print columns of numbers, or where only a
- certain number of decimal places are meaningful (for example, in
- financial programs, typically only two decimal places are
- meaningful).
-
- Lines 50000 and up are the actual subroutine. The
- lower-numbered lines are a sample program showing how to call
- the subroutine in a BASIC program. You have to set three
- variables (V, V1, and V2), call the subroutine (gosub 50000) and
- then print V$; . Set V to the actual number to be printed out,
- V1 to the number of places to the left of the decimal point, and
- V2 to the number of places to the right of the decimal point.
