[[map|Lesson Map]] | [[0306|Next > Add Comments]] = Print Text and Variables= In the [[0305|previous lesson]] you asked the user to type his name, then you printed it back out for him. [[code]] input "What is your name? "; name$ print name$ [[code]] You can make this seem a little more friendly by adding a message when you print the **name$** variable. You can "add" two pieces of text together by using the **+** symbol. It works whether the text is in quotation marks or contained in string variables. Here is some code that uses **+** to display two separate pieces of text. [[code]] print "Liberty " + "BASIC" [[code]] It's just that easy! Now you can greet your program's user by name. Type this code into the Liberty BASIC editor and run it to see the result. [[code]] input "What is your name? "; name$ print "It's nice to meet you, " + name$ [[code]] Liberty BASIC also lets you use the semicolon symbol to add pieces of text together. The semicolon looks like this. **;** It works in exactly the same way as the **+** symbol. This code does the same thing as the previous code. [[code]] input "What is your name? "; name$ print "It's nice to meet you, " ; name$ [[code]] [[map|Lesson Map]] | [[0306|Next > Add Comments]]
