LEFT $ (STR$(X),1) - the sign of X
(positive or negative). A space
is printed for a positive X and
a negative sign (-) for a nega­
tive X.
In this particular program the sign is printed to
the right of each number. This aligns the signs
to be printed in the same column. The format to
be used is only a matter of preference. This can
easily be changed by rearranging and modifying the
strings in line 600.

Returns control of the program back to line 100
(in this case).
