Put – An Essential Command
The single most fundamental command in SenseTalk is put, which displays the value of an expression. A closely-related variant, the put … into command, is used to store a value into a variable or other container.
Put Command
Behavior: The Put command displays a value. If more than one expression is given, separated by commas, the value of each expression is displayed on a separate line.
Syntax:
put { expr1{ , expr2 … } }
put { qty } [ - | = | + | ~ | < | > | . | / | : | ? | ^ | & | ***** | | ]
Examples:
put // this will display a single blank line
put “hello world” // this will display the text “hello world” on a single line
put “hello”, “world” // this will display the text on two lines, with “hello” on one line and “world” on the following line
put 3+5 // this displays “8”, the value of the expression 3+5
A simple variation on the basic put command displays a line of symbols, which is convenient for separating different parts of the output.
Examples:
put - // this will display a line of 33 “-“ characters
put ? // this will display a line of 33 “?“ characters
put 66 - // this will display a line of 66 “-“ characters
