| Lowercase parameter | Parameter name; substitute a value | PRINT value | PRINT "Text" |
| OUT keyword | enter as shown (return values follow) | BACKCOLOR OUT color% | BACKCOLOR OUT C |
| % parameter suffix | Integer type parameter | CHR$ code% OUT char$ | C$ = CHR$(65) |
| # parameter suffix | Real type parameter | RAD angle# OUT radians | A = RAD(73.22) |
| $ parameter suffix | String type parameter | VAL numeric_string$ OUT value | N = VAL("100") |
| @ label notation | Label; substitute label identifier | GOTO @<label> | GOTO @LOOP |
| [] parameter suffix | Array parameter | LEN array[] OUT length% | DIM A[2]:L=LEN(A) |
| ? parameter suffix | Nullable parameter; optional use | LOCATE x%?, y%? | LOCATE ,14 |
| Comma | Separator; enter as shown | POW base, exponent OUT power | N = POW(2,8) |
| Enclosing brackets | Optional parameter(s) | PRINT [value[, value]] | PRINT 1 |
