<paragraph id="par_id3163712" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"> <emph>Expression</emph>: Any numeric or string expression to be printed. Multiple expressions can be separated by a semicolon. If separated by a comma, the expressions are indented to the next tab stop. The tab stops cannot be adjusted.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3153092" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"> <emph>Number</emph>: Number of spaces to be inserted by the <emph>Spc</emph> function.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3145364" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"> <emph>Pos</emph>: Spaces are inserted until the specified position.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3154319" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">If a semicolon or comma appears after the last expression to be printed, $[officename] Basic stores the text in an internal buffer and continues program execution without printing. When another Print statement without a semicolon or comma at the end is encountered, all text to be printed is printed at once.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3145272" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Positive numeric expressions are printed with a leading space. Negative expressions are printed with a leading minus sign. If a certain range is exceeded for floating-point values, the respective numeric expression is printed in exponential notation.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3154011" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">If the expression to be printed exceeds a certain length, the display will automatically wrap to the next line.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3146969" role="note" xml-lang="en-US">You can insert the Tab function, enclosed by semicolons, between arguments to indent the output to a specific position, or you can use the <emph>Spc</emph> function to insert a specified number of spaces.</paragraph>
