NAME

       output-statement -  (output)

PURPOSE

       Output text.

SYNTAX

           @<text>

           !<verbatim text>

DESCRIPTION

       Outputting free form text is done by starting the line with "@" or "!". The text is output unencoded with
       a new line appended.

       With "@" statement, any inline-code executes and any output from those statements is output.

       With "!" statement, all text is output verbatim, and any inline code is not executed. This is useful when
       the text printed out should not be checked for any inline-code.

       All  trailing  whitespaces  are  trimmed  from  each  source  code  line.  If  you need to write trailing
       whitespaces, with "@" statement you can use print-out as inline-code. Maximum line length is 8KB  -  this
       is the source code line length, the actual run-time output length is unlimited.

       Note  that all characters are output as they are written, including the escape character (\). If you wish
       to output characters requiring an escape character, such as new line and tab (as is done in  C  by  using
       \n, \t etc.), use print-out as inline-code.

EXAMPLES

       Outputting "Hello there":

           @Hello there

       You can use other Golf statements inlined and mixed with the text you are outputting:

           set-string weatherType="sunny"
           @Today's weather is <<print-out weatherType>>

       which would output

           Today's weather is sunny

       With  "!"  statement, the text is also output, and this example produces the same "Hello there" output as
       "@":

           !Hello there

       In contrast to "@" statement, "!" statement outputs all texts verbatim  and does not execute  any  inline
       code:

           set-string weatherType="sunny"
           !Today's weather is <<print-out weatherType>>

       which would output

           Today's weather is <<print-out weatherType>>
