Insert space(s) into a PRINT'd output.

 

SPC is an interesting preposition; it appears like a function, but it is not a real function -- it may only be used as a preposition (with PRINT[#] or CMD).

 

Zero or more spaces (code 32) are insereted into the output with each SPC(n) preposition.  If n is omitted or not a valid expression, SYNTAX ERROR is generated; otherwise if n is not numeric a TYPE MISMATCH ERROR occurs; otherwise if n is not legal (see above) then an ILLEGAL QUANTITY ERROR is generated. 

 

SPC is not valid with USING. 

  

Examples:

PRINT "HELLO";"WORLD"
HELLOWORLD  

READY.
PRINT "HELLO";SPC(8);"WORLD"
HELLO        WORLD 

READY.
PRINT "HELLO";TAB(8);"WORLD"
HELLO   WORLD 

READY.
