Abstract
To make a program easier to understand there are two useful features of BASIC. The first of these is illustrated in activity 3.1. Type it in and then run it. You should see that the words enclosed in inverted commas are displayed on the screen. All characters enclosed in inverted commas after a PRINT instruction are called literals and are always printed exactly as they appear in the program. Amend the program with one or more additional lines of literals of your own. For example, you could add a new line in front of line 10 which gives the program a title and names the author.
