None of this is a direct result of any BASIC statements included in 10 PRINT. Displaying strings on the screen generally has this effect, since BASIC's PRINT command calls the Commodore 64 KERNAL's CHAROUT routine and produces output in this way. So, while 10 PRINT is not an iterative program, it invokes the iterative behavior of PRINT. In this case, the behvaior is a sort of incrementing, because ";" is used to display the next character immediate after the previous one and a string that is one character long is displayed in each pass. 10 PRINT's simplicity exposes the power of using simple, iterative steps to create a complex construction. | None of this is a direct result of any BASIC statements included in 10 PRINT.
