QUESTION 10:
What do you suppose this program writes to the computer monitor?
' Program to demonstrate sequential execution PRINT "Cross patch, draw the latch," PRINT "Sit by the fire and spin." END
' Chicken Little's Alarm PRINT "The sky is falling." END
Of course, the comment in your program might not be the same as mine.
Characters inside of quotes are printed literally--upper and lower case are printed exactly as in the string, and punctuation (such as the period at the end of the sentence) is printed.
When the computer system performs a command given by a QBasic statement, we say that the statement is executed. Look at the program in the question (below). There are two PRINT statements. The first PRINT statement is executed first (of course), then the second PRINT statement is executed. Finally the END statement ends the program. Unless directed otherwise, a QBasic program starts with the first statement and then executes the statements in sequential order until an END is reached.
