TI-Basic Z80 Programming/List of Commands/Output

The Output() function is used for displaying values or strings on the home screen. Output can be controlled by changing 3 values inside the function, which are:

• Row (vertical value)
• Column (horizontal value)
• String or value to display

Output requires certain syntax: Output(row,column,value).

:Output(2,6,"WIKIBOOKS")

In this example, the calculator would display WIKIBOOKS at 2 rows down (from the top of the screen)and 6 columns over (from the left of the screen). Notice that to display a string (i.e. WIKIBOOKS), one must enclose the string in quotation marks. Make sure to separate values of row column and display value with commas.

Notes about Output()

• You do not need to end Output() with an end parenthesis.
• To display a numerical value, do NOT place quotes around the value, as it is not a string.
• Only one value can be displayed per Output() statement.
