A simple and basic question

[BrianT]

I think the following will happen. At startup all variables are cleared so A = 0. Therefore the While A <> 0 test will fail and the WHILE/WEND block will be skipped.

Hi, ted

Supposing you use Zaeler_BYTE as a Word ( Good question ... indeed ) :

As you increment Zaeler_BYTE , you'll reach an overflow ( and return to Zero ) for Zaeler_BYTE = 65536 ...

so, you'll count from 60 000 to 60535 ...

that makes ??? loops ...



BUT ... as it is Zaeler_BYTE ...

Overflow will occur for Zaeler_BYTE = 256

And you'll count only from 96 ( 60 000 Lower Byte ) to 255 ...

that really makes ??? ... loops

Jawohl ???

PS: we suppose A is an input state ... and can be 0 or 1 ...
