Console print statement question

[Ed Davis]

Using 040, console.inc.

This works:

Code Select Expand

  print "limit: " & limit & " tmp: " & tmp & " mod(tmp, limit): " & mod(tmp, limit) & cr

But this won't compile. 

Code Select Expand

  print "limit: " limit " tmp: " tmp " mod(tmp, limit): " mod(tmp, limit) cr


Gives:

ERROR:  unexpected comma in array index
WORD:   tmp
IN:     rnd
LINE:   366
FILE:   "main source"

This (leaving out the mod()) works:

Code Select Expand

  print "limit: " limit " tmp: " tmp " mod(tmp, limit): " cr


Is it better to always use "&" when concatenating things?

Put the whole print expression between  brackets,  including the cr. The cr must be part of the expression

I tried:

Code Select Expand

print("limit: " limit " tmp: " tmp " mod(tmp, limit): " mod(tmp, limit) cr)

And got:

Code Select Expand

ERROR:  unexpected comma in array index
WORD:   tmp
IN:     rnd
LINE:   366
FILE:   "main source"


But this is no biggie, as the "&" version works fine.

By the way, I really, really appreciate the "-m" switch!
