Code Basics

Combining Statements on One Line

Unlike languages such as C, Basic has no command terminator.  However you can place two or more statements on the same line using a colon (:)  to separate them:

x=14: y=2: a=-12.055

Adding Comments

Standard Basic REM comments are supported, as well as the apostrophe (') symbol.  Both tell the compiler to ignore the rest of the line.

' Here is a comment on a line by itself
delaymS(15)  ' 15ms Delay   (comment can follow statements as well)

Numbering Systems

Both decimal and hexadecimal numbering systems are supported.  As well as single character values.

* A period  has no effect in binary values

Literal Representation

Values are represented in three different ways.

1. Decimal Hexadecimal, or Binary values are simply entered in directly.
2. Characters are single characters enclosed in quotes (") IE:  "A"or "3"
3. Strings are more than one character enclosed in quotes ( stored in small tables in program memory).  IE:  "This is a string"
