Hi folks,

It occurred to me when taking the kids to school this morning that all my examples and test code for MMB4L specify types using suffix syntax, i.e. i%, f!, s$.

Does anyone have / can anyone point me to some significant pieces of console-only (no hi-res graphics, no additional hardware requirements) MMBasic that use the other two type syntaxes, e.g.

DIM INTEGER nbr(50)
DIM name AS STRING

Thanks in advance,

Tom

I'm sure it does John, I was just being lazy

. I guess I was hoping that if there as someone interested in using MMB4L they might be prepared to do some of the spade-work.

As it happens, I have broken the alternative syntax

- probably a simple fix for this evening.

Best wishes,

Tom

I'd done a search of files I've kept but they all seemed to break your requirements e.g. had graphics or used hardware -- hardly a shock for MMBasic & TBS.

Thanks John.

Wasn't there some sort of celestial calculator/clock that gets posted about occasionally, I believe Peter might even have used it for testing ... I can't find it now.

Best wishes,

Tom

I've used both of those now and again, especially DIM INTEGER a,b,c,i,j,x,y That's almost a standard command for me and variants of it turn up a lot. Apart from $ I very rarely use a type suffix as I can't be bothered typing them. :)

Sounds like the one that uses triangle, circle, etc
