[edit] Example

:ClrHome
:Input "NUMBER",X
:X+5→Y
:Output(2,1,"YOUR NUMBER PLUS
:Output(3,1,"5 IS
:Output(3,6,Y

This program will ask the user to input a number. Once the number has been entered, the program will add 5 to it, and store it into a new variable. It will then display YOUR NUMBER PLUS 5 IS and then the number plus 5.

So,if your number was seven it would say

NUMBER7
YOUR NUMBER PLUS
5 IS 12
