    Default SWAP COMMAND extended to Longs and array variables

    would be nice to have the swap command be extended to support longs and array variables and not limited to its current form

    Default Re: SWAP COMMAND extended to Longs and array variables

    Hi
    It’s impossible to swap a pair of RAM locations in any language on any platform without the use of an identical sized temporary RAM location.
    The manual only means you don’t have to look at the mess in a BASIC program, but it still exists in the compiled result.

    Code:
    valuea = 3;
    valueb = 6;
    
    temp = valuea
    valuea = valueb
    valueb = temp
    
    // valuea now = 6, and valueb = 9
