Answer:

There are eight characters in the string


"A B C D "

The spaces count as characters, even the space after the D.

Changing the Contents of Variables

Look at the following program:

' Assignment with numerical variables
LET CASH = 100
LET WORTH = CASH
PRINT WORTH
'
END

The first LET statement creates the variable CASH then puts the number 100 into it:

CASH
100

The second LET statement creates the variable WORTH, then gets a number from CASH to copy into WORTH:

WORTH
100

The number in CASH does not change. The program prints 100 to the screen.

QUESTION 7:

Could the programmer use another LET statement to change the number that is in WORTH?
