output

Input is what a program shows the user or other programs. On Unix most out goes to stdout, though it can go else where like to lpr. Contrast with input.

Standard command on most TI Calcalators, commonly used in TI-Basic programs. (Note: The Program I/O screen doesn't exist on all TI Calculators (like the TI-83 for example), in which case it just prints on the main screen)

The Texas Instruments TI-89 User's Guide defines the command as follows:

Output

Displays exprOrString (an expression or

character string) on the Program I/O screen

at the next coordinates (row,column).

An expression can include conversion

operations such as ->DD and ->Rect. You can

also use the > operation to perform unit and

number base conversions.

If Pretty Print = ON, exprOrString is "pretty

printed."

From the Program I/O screen, you can press

F5 to display the Home screen, or a program

can use DispHome.

Supplied by the processor to a device for transfer to another form of representation.
The form of representation can be magnetic such as a tape or disk, or ink as in a printed page, or light and dark phosphors as in a video display.
It usually comes from the memory section after processing by the CPU.
