A **statement** is, as far as BASIC is concerned, a keyword that can be executed in run-time which doesn't return any value. It can contain several [argument](argument)s or no arguments at all.
The arguments in a statement are usually not enclosed with paranteses. When a graphical x-coordinate and y-coordinate is to be specified they are enclosed with paranteses though.
## Example(s)
Demonstrates how x- and y-coordinates are enclosed with paranteses (in graphics).
```vb
SCREEN 13
x = 160
y = 100
PSET (x, y), 15
```
Demonstrates how row- and column-coordinates are not enclosed with paranteses (in text).
```vb
row = 12
column = 40
LOCATE row, column
PRINT "X"
```
