Programming in BASIC on the Color Computer - Chapter 27 - Managing Words
6After a roughly 6 month hiatus, we're back with a brand new episode of programming in BASIC on the color computer, and we pick up on Chapter 27, Managing Words.
This chapter mostly deals with reading string data into string array variables, and then manipulating those same variables afterwards, it does a decent job of driving home the concept. We READ in string variable via the DATA statement, as well as manually using the INPUT command to capture a string from the user. Each string is stored in a sub set of an array so A$(1) is the first string variable, A$(2) the second, etc.
We also touched on possibly directing text output to a printer, and even listing our entire program to a printer, if we had one.
Learned in chapter 27:
BASIC WORDS: LLIST PRINT #-2
BASIC concept: string arrays
