Line 16:
* Numeric results of compare operations: 1 (if true), 0 (if false). Thus, one can use them in arithmetic expression. Note: <syntaxhighlight lang="basic">LET A=B=0</syntaxhighlight> means "set <code>A</code> to the result of comparing <code>B</code> with 0".
* A prompt in an <code>INPUT</code> command. If the prompt is omitted, the default is a name of the variable. E.g. <syntaxhighlight lang="basic">INPUT "WHAT IS THE HEIGHT"H</syntaxhighlight> will print <code>WHAT IS THE HEIGHT:</code> and wait to read an expression from the input device.<syntaxhighlight lang="basic">INPUT H</syntaxhighlight> will print <code>H:</code> and so on.
* The function <code>RND(X)</code> that returns a random number between 1 and X (inclusive).
* Separating print items with <code>,</code> (comma).
* Setting widths of numeric print items. A number preceeded by <code>#</code> sets the width (6 by default) of following numeric print items. It does not count leading spaces. For example,
<syntaxhighlight lang="basic">
10 PRINT "X",#2,1,10,"X"
20 PRINT 1,#4,10,20,#2,30,40
</syntaxhighlight>
displays
<pre>
X 1 10X
1 10 20 30 40
</pre>
