Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

greatcowbasic lets you use a++ instead of a=a+1
also a--- instead of a=a-1
but a++b instead of a=a+b would be better.
inc is ok. what if it's float?

Thanks Geoff, I don't think the good old Micromite is fully appreciated by many of the newer shedders and many could learn a lot from reading the articles on your website.

You get a more reasonable result of 2.25 if you include the comma before 0.5

Doh! Thanks Lizby without the comma it is just incrementing by one and ignoring the 0.5. I wasn't paying proper attention.

I was going to also ask whether it would be possible to fill arrays in a single line, i.e.:


Dim a

a = (202,80,50,60,0,0,0)


As opposed to:


Dim a

a(1) = 202
a(2) = 80
a(3) = 50
a(4) = 60
...




If you wanted to do that, it would be better to follow what official BASIC already uses:

MAT READ a
DATA 202,80,50,60,0,0,0

Dim a(6) = (202,80,50,60,0,0,0)

> list
Dim a(6) = (202,80,50,60,0,0,0)
For b = 0 To 6 : Print a(b): Next
> run
202
80
50
60
0
0
0

Note: zero base array
