Simple Array Demo

Hi,

"A,B,C..." all have an ASCII value. For example "A"=65 so an iteration like this can help

For I = 0 to 25
char[I] = I + 65
Next I

P.S. PBP Manual has the ascii chart

As I look at this a year later, I now understand what this snippet does.

"I realise there are likely easier ways to load the ARRAY . . .Baby Steps"

It loads the variable CHAR with the Alphabet,<font color = BLUE> A Belated Thanks, Sougata .</font color>
This response is to point that fact out to anyone new to arrays. Attention Newbies

Joe,

Did you know you can do this?

Dat VAR BYTE
Alphabet VAR BYTE[26]

Main:
    FOR Dat = "A" to "Z"
     Alphabet[Dat-65]=Dat ' load Alphabet array 0-25 with A-Z
     HSEROUT [Alphabet[Dat-65],13,10]
     PAUSE 50
    NEXT Dat
    PAUSE 5000
    GOTO Main
    
    END

Woo Hoo, another tidbit of knowledge! I did not know that.
Thank You Bruce.
