LET - DualBrain/bsharp GitHub Wiki

To assign the value of an expression to a variable.

Syntax

[LET] variable=expression

Comments

The word LET is optional; that is, the equal sign is sufficient when assigning an expression to a variable name.

The LET statement is seldom used. It is included here to ensure compatibility with previous versions of BASIC that require it.

When using LET, remember that the type of the variable and the type of the expression must match. If they don't, a Type mismatch error occurs.

Example

Both of the following examples are functionally equal.

110 LET D = 12
120 LET E = 12 ^ 2
130 LET F = 12 ^ 4
140 LET SUM = D + E + F

110 D = 12
120 E = 12 ^ 2
130 F = 12 ^ 4
140 SUM = D + E + F
