<B>INPUT Get Input from Keyboard</B>

|
<B>INPUT</B>[;]["<U>prompt</U>" {; | ,}] <U>variable</U> [,<U>variable</U>]...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assigns input from the keyboard to one or more string or numeric
|
||
|
|
variables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
; If a semicolon is included directly after the INPUT
|
||
|
|
keyword, QuickBASIC does not issue a carriage return/line
|
||
|
|
feed after receiving the user's input.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<U>prompt</U> A string constant supplying a prompt to guide the user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<U>variable</U> The name of a variable (string or numeric) that will
|
||
|
|
receive input.

<B>Notes:</B> A prompt may be included in the INPUT statement to guide
|
||
|
|
the user; if included, it must be a string constant,
|
||
|
|
enclosed within quote marks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a prompt is included, it must be followed by either a
|
||
|
|
semicolon or a comma (outside the quotes, before the first
|
||
|
|
variable name). If it's followed by a semicolon,
|
||
|
|
QuickBASIC displays a question mark after the prompt
|
||
|
|
string. If it's followed by a comma, QuickBASIC suppresses
|
||
|
|
the question mark.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If no prompt is included, QuickBASIC displays a question
|
||
|
|
mark.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If more than one variable is included in the INPUT
|
||
|
|
statement, the user must enter values for all variables,
|
||
|
|
separated by commas. If only one variable is included in
|
||
|
|
the INPUT statement, the user has the option of simply
|
||
|
|
pressing the Enter key; QuickBASIC interprets that action
|
||
|
|
as 0 (for numeric variables) or null (for string
|
||
|
|
variables).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the user enters too few or too many values in response
|
||
|
|
to an INPUT statement, QuickBASIC displays a ?Redo from
|
||
|
|
Start error message; no values are assigned to variables
|
||
|
|
until satisfactory input is received.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the user enters a comma in response to an INPUT
|
||
|
|
statement, BASIC displays a ?Redo from Start error
|
||
|
|
message. You can avoid this irritation by using LINE
|
||
|
|
INPUT, instead of INPUT.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Input for a string variable need not be enclosed in quote
|
||
|
|
marks. String input that is enclosed within quotes is
|
||
|
|
handled as though it were not (QuickBASIC ignores the
|
||
|
|
quotes).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Input to a numeric variable must be numeric.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Editing keystrokes are active during response to INPUT. To
|
||
|
|
receive such keystrokes as part of an input string, use
|
||
|
|
INKEY$.
