HP Forums - PPL PRINT Function

I am on my third day with my new Prime, and I'm loving it.

To try out PPL for the first time, I entered one of my favorite programs - how many ways to make $1.00 from change. It's a simple set of four nested FOR-NEXT statements with a test in the middle for whether or not the current combination of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters add up to 100.

In the middle, I like to also print out those combinations that add up to 100. Usually, something like this: P: w N: x D: y Q: z all on one line for each combination.

I have not yet found how to make the PPL PRINT function print anything more than one thing on a line, so I am getting this instead:
P: w
N: x
D: y
Q: z

This is not very display friendly as everything is run together vertically.

Can anyone tell me how to PRINT more than one thing on a line?

Code:

EXPORT Dollar()

BEGIN

PRINT();

C:=0;

FOR P FROM 0 TO 100 STEP 5 DO

FOR N FROM 0 TO 20 DO

FOR D FROM 0 TO 10 DO

FOR Q FROM 0 TO 4 DO

IF P+(N*5)+(D*10)+(Q*25)=100 THEN C:=C+1;

PRINT("P:" +P);

PRINT("N:" +N);

PRINT("D:" +D);

PRINT("Q:" +Q)

END;

END;

END;

END;

END;

MSGBOX("ways_to_make_a_dollar="+C)

END;

Thanks very much, in advance, for your patience and advice.

One way to do it (click in terminal screen to end, or wait for timeout):

Code:

EXPORT Dollar()

BEGIN

  PRINT();

  C:=0;

  FOR P FROM 0 TO 100 STEP 5 DO

    FOR N FROM 0 TO 20 DO

      FOR D FROM 0 TO 10 DO

        FOR Q FROM 0 TO 4 DO

          IF P+(N*5)+(D*10)+(Q*25)=100 THEN C:=C+1;

//PRINT("P:" +P);

//PRINT("N:" +N);

//PRINT("D:" +D);

//PRINT("Q:" +Q);

          print("P:" +P + "  " + "N:" +N +"  " + "D:" +D + "  " +"Q:" +Q);

          END;  // ends if

        END;  // ends Q

      END;  // ends D

    END;  //  ends N

  END;  //  ends P

  wait(-1);

  return MSGBOX("ways_to_make_a_dollar="+C);

END;

Thank you *very* much, DrD.

I had not yet figured out why the "+" was needed to get the second item into my PRINT statements, but now it makes perfect sense.

Thanks again for your patience and attention.
