& Operator

When inside a string of text, how should & be interpreted? How would you print the character &? I think it would make more sense if there was a string interpolation character, or if it was simply print variable "a" & print "...".

Well, & basically intersects two or more printable functions. For example, print variable "a" & " numbers" should print X numbers, where X is the value of the variable "a". You can print & by simply writing print "&". Print variable "a" & "...", in my opinion, is much more, let's say, appealing (although maybe not very clear) than print variable "a" & print "...".

In your 99 Bottles Of Beer example, & is inside the string. Is that an error, then?

Oh, absolutely. Thanks for the heads-up!

Print Statements

Do print statements end in a newline? If not, how is a newline printed?

Yes! But you can also use something like this to create a newline:

┌────────────────────────────┐
│print "This is a line.      │
│Here's a newline.           │
│And here's another newline."│
└────────────────────────────┘
