Description
Waits for the user to type a line of text into the text output window. When the user hits the enter or return key, the user's input is stored in to a variable.
Using just INPUT, if the user types a valid number it will be converted and stored as either an integer or a float. If INPUT is unable to convert what is typed, it will be saved as a string.
You may force the type conversion by specifying INPUT FLOAT, INPUT INTEGER, or INPUT STRING.
User may optionally be prompted for the input by prompt.
References to array elements may also be specified.
