INPUT, another weird feature

Hallo allemaal,


Not having used INPUT for a very long, I was playing with it on my C64. The used program was simple:

1 input a,b
2 print a,b

Not knowing any more how you could enter multiple inputs, I started with '1 2'. To be sure, a space between the 1 and the 2.
First surprise: it asked for another input and the second and biggest surprise: the output was '12   3'. Reading the manual I found out I had to use commas as separators instead of spaces. So I tried as input '1  2  3  4  ,  5  6  7  8' and the result was '1234   5678'.

So it seems BASIC simply skips the spaces in the numerical  output. IMHO it shouldn't do that. But it does. Am I missing something or did I run in another feature?


With kind regards / met vriendelijke groet, Ruud Baltissen
