2.2.4 Examples of Entering Commands

Here are some examples of entering simple commands in CoCoA. (Macintosh OS9 and GUI users please remember the special instructions made in the previous section.)

Example

  1+1;  -- a simple command
2
-------------------------------
  1  +   -- the same command spread over several lines

  1;
2
-------------------------------
  1+1; 2+2; 3+3;  -- several commands on a single line
2
-------------------------------
4
-------------------------------
6
-------------------------------

NOTE: The output above appears just as it does in my CoCoA window. The examples in the online manual will often be annotated. When CoCoA encounters *double dashes*, as above, it regards the rest of the line as a comment.
