Right justification on screen when printing variables which have a different length.
In Extended BASIC you would use the extended command PRINT USING but in TI BASIC you need to carry out the formatting yourself.
Here is a quick routine for right justification (useful when using columns of numbers).
The variable to be printed is in the string variable A$
To convert numbers to strings use eg STR$(42)
Place the value of the rightmost column to be used in variable RC:
X=RC-LEN(A$)
FOR C=1 TO X
A$=" "&A$ (this adds one space in front of A$)
NEXT C
PRINT A$
