Symbols

You should be familiar with the names and useages of the following symbols: 


	$   dollar sign			@   at sign

	#   hash mark			%   percent sign

	&   and symbol			=   equal sign

	?   question mark		+   plus sign

	*   asterisk			>   greater than

	<   less than			^   carot

	~   tilde			!   exclamation mark

	-  dash				_  underscore

	/  slash			:  colon
The and sign is sometimes also called the ampersand, but we won't use that word in this lesson.

Some of these symbols are used as punctuation, but many are used in specialized ways. Here are some examples used in sentences: 


  Jill paid $3.50 for a pack of pens.

  Jack scored 65% on the test.

  John is the president of the company called JP&D Enterprises.

  Sue's phone number is 454-5454.
