Lines 2 and 3 define the pattern shown in the figure on the next page, defining it as pat-

tern 100. The PAT command on line 5 selects the pattern for use in fills. Line 6 prints the

filled block.

Figure 2. 11.

Dot Pattern and a Filled Block

The pattern is 16 dots high and 16 dots wide, and is encoded as a series of 16-bit words.

Each 16-bit word is encoded by three characters, representing the most significant six

bits, the next six bits, and the least significant four bits, respectively, as shown on the

next page.

You obtain the characters that define the pattern by dividing each row-work into sections

of six, six, and four bits, calculating the numerical value of each section (referred to as

x,

y,

and

z,

respectively), treating it as a binary number in which the white dots are zeroes

and the black dots are ones. Then add 64 (decimal) to the values of the 6-bit sections and

48 to the values of the 4-bit sections. The result is the ASCII code of the character that

represents that section.
