| 3 | + | For writing data to the screen, there are also two statements, one of which you've seen already in last chapter's programming assignment: | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | ``` pascal | |
| 6 | + | write (Argument_List); | |
| 7 | + | writeln (Argument_List); | |
| 8 | + | ``` | |
| 9 | + | ||
| 10 | + | The `writeln` statement skips to the next line when done. | |
| 11 | + | ||
| 12 | + | You can use strings in the argument list, either constants or literal values. If you want to display an apostrophe within a string, use two consecutive apostrophes. Displaying two consecutive apostrophes would then requires you to use four. This use of a special sequence to refer to a special character is called escaping, and allows you to refer to any character even if there is no key for it on the keyboard. | |
