30 CHAPTER 7: BASIC INTRODUCTION WHA T IS B ASIC? B ASIC is a computer language. The name BASIC stands f or Beginner’ s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It was developed by professors at Dartmouth College in the mid-1960s. It was designed for students who had no previous experience in programming computers.
31 THE KEYBOARD 1. The numeric (top row) k eys are used f or entering numbers. The letter k eys are used for entering letters. 2. The cursor is the blinking symbol “_” on the display that indicates where the ne xt character that is pressed on the ke yboard will be entered in the computer .
32 THE LCD SCREEN The PRECOMPUTER PO WER P AD™ PLUS lear ning unit uses a Liquid Cr ystal Display (LCD) screen. Each line will displa y 20 characters at a time . The Left Arrow ke y and Right Arrow k ey are used to scroll the 20 char acter display windo w left or r ight, respectiv ely .
33 RUN This command instructs PRECOMPUTER PO WER P AD™ PLUS to begin ex ecuting each B ASIC statement with a line number that was typed into memory . The computer will start with the lowest line number and proceed up to the highest numbered statement.
34 B ASIC COMPUTER TUT ORIAL EXAMPLE OF A B ASIC PR OGRAM Y ou and T eresa went to the local video store to rent some movies . T eresa brought back 12 but 4 were too scary for you so you returned them.
35 LET’S DO SOME ARITHMETIC In the previous section you learned to program the sum of three numbers using the BASIC program. Numbers like 1, 3, 27, 14.3, etc., are called CONST ANTS , n umbers that do not change v alue. The program added and subtr acted the constants 12, 4 and 7.
36 T ype this : 10 PRINT 3+11/7 pr ess ENTER RUN Is it really e valuated from left to right? Y es, but w as it the ans wer you w ere expecting? If the ans wer came out to 4.57143, the computer first divided 11 b y 7 getting 1.57143 and then it added 3 to the result giving 4.
37 The computer creates a box in memory and calls it “A”. It puts the number 8 in this box. Now type : 20 LET B=10 pr ess ENTER The computer creates a box called “B” and places 10 into it.
38 Y ou will see the follo wing on the screen : FIRST NUMBER 8 pr ess ENTER SECOND NUMBER 15 pr ess ENTER THE SUM IS 23 Let’ s tak e a look at the print statements on lines 50 through 70. The words in quotes are called a STRING or a LITERAL . Whatever you put between a set of quotation marks will appear on the screen exactly the way you typed it.
39 V ARIABLE NAMES CONTENTS A 675 B 2.3434 C$ CUR TIS A$ ALPHABET SOUP Here’ s an example of storing a string variab le: 10 LET A$=“ ALPHABET SOUP NO 123” Y ou can hav e a numeric variab le called A and a string variable called A$. The $ lets BASIC know how to tell them apart.
40 50 PRINT “THE ANSWER IS”; N pr ess ENTER RUN The statement at line 10 stores the numeric constant zero into N, a numeric variable. In statement 20 the variable will have a numeric constant,1, added to itself and then the sum of that operation will be stored in place of the value previously stored there.
41 Y ou can use as many input statements as y ou need to get all the v alues into your progr am. Tr y this : NEW 10 INPUT “GIVE ME A NUMBER”; N1 pr ess ENTER 20 INPUT “ AND ANO THER”; N2 pr es.
42 The A > 90 is a condition. The print “Y OU ARE SMART” is the command giv en f or the true condition. In the abo ve e xample, let’ s give A the v alue 80. W ould the message be printed? No, it would not be printed because the condition is false (80 is less than 90).
43 50 PRINT “ ARITHMETIC OPERA TION Y OU W ANT” 60 PRINT “ME T O DO FOR YOU” 70 INPUT R$ 100 IF R$=“ A” THEN C=A+B : GO T O 200 110 IF R$=“S” THEN C=A-B : GO T O 200 120 IF R$=“M” .
44 LOOPING A loop is a set of one or more instructions. These instructions can be repeated as many times as you w ant. Y ou can create a loop with a GO T O statement.
45 We could always re write the program like this : 10 N=1 20 PRINT “N IS”;N 30 N=N+1 40 IF N > 10 THEN END 50 GO T O 20 We can also count by 2’ s.
46 MORE ABOUT GR OUPS - GOSUB ... RETURN How much is 10 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit? What is 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius? Here’ s a progr am that giv es you the ans wers. It uses the GOSUB and RETURN statements to create a group of instructions that can be executed from various parts of the program.
47 REFERENCE SECTION The REFERENCE SECTION contains a brief explanation of all the commands and statements you will use in this chapter . Ref er to this when y ou need help . CLEAR The CLEAR statement is used to assign more memory space for the string variables.
48 EDIT Use the EDIT command when you want to change a statement that has been typed into memory without re-typing the entire line. Just type EDIT and the line number and press the ENTER ke y. The statement will appear on the display . Use the LEFT -ARRO W and RIGHT -ARRO W k eys to mo ve the cursor .
49 PSET This command is used for drawing a specified point on the screen. PSET X, Y (X, Y) is a coordinate of the specified point to be shown. X represents a value of a horizontal position. Y represents a value of a vertical position. Example: 10 CLS 20 PSET 100, 8 RUN The result: a screen pixel at coordinate (100, 8) will be turned on.
50 SOUND This is a command to generate a sound note. SOUND consists of two functions: frequency and duration frequency The frequency of the sound in hertz; a value in the range 0 < frequency parameter < 256 duration The number of the system clock ticks so the sound lasts; a value in the range 0 < duration parameter < 256 FOR .
51 T ype PRINT SQR (9). (press ENTER ) The answer is 3. Example: Y=9 : X=SQR(Y) : PRINT X pr ess ENTER The answer is 3. In these two examples, 9 is the argument, SQR is the function and 3 is the result.
52 ARITHMETIC FUNCTIONS ABS (X) This giv es the absolute (positive) v alue of the argument. So ABS (-7)=7. Example: PRINT ABS (7-2*4) pr ess ENTER 1 SGN (X) This function will give the value of +1 if X is positive, 0 if X is zero, and -1 if X is negative.
53 Example: PRINT RND (19) pr ess ENTER Y ou will get a number between 1 and 19. RND (0) will give y ou a number between 0 and 1. Note :X cannot be negative. Important Note: Fr om now on, the ENTER key sign will be deleted for simplicity . Remember to press the ENTER key after eac h line of entry .
54 VA L V AL works like STR$ b ut in re verse . It changes a str ing argument into a number . Look at the following short program. Example: 10 A$=“33” 20 B$=“20” 30 C=V AL(A$+B$) 40 D= V AL (A$) + V AL (B$) 50 PRINT C;D RUN 3320 53 GRAPHICS FUNCTION PGET function Returns the color attribute of a specified pixel.
55 Example: 10 A$=“ABCDE” 20 B$=LEFT$ (A$+“FGH”,6) 30 PRINT B$ RUN ABCDEF RIGHT$ (A$,N) This will return a substring but starting from the Nth character from the end and running to the last one - the right-most character in the string A$.
56 ASC(A$) The ASC statement will return the ASCII code, a code f or representing alphanumeric information, for the FIRST character of the specified string. Brackets must enclose the string specified. Ref er to the appendix of THE ASCII CODE T ABLE (P age 72).
57 Example: 30 GOSUB 120 . . other program lines . . 120 PRINT “WELCOME TO THE” 130 PRINT “PRECOMPUTER PO WER P AD PLUS” 140 RETURN GO T O Line # GO T O line number The GO T O statement is used to change the normal flow of the program (which is from the low est statement number to the highest).
58 Relations or comparisons used in the IF ...THEN statement are the f ollowing: = Equal to < = Less than or equal to < > Not equal to > = Greater than or equal to < Less than > Greater than Examples of how you can use conditions: IF .
59 Example: 40 IF P=6 THEN PRINT “TR UE” ELSE PRINT “F ALSE” In this e xample, if P=6 the computer will print TR UE . Any other v alue will print F ALSE . In either case the computer will carry onto the next line. It is possib le for more than one statement to f ollo w the THEN or ELSE command.
60 TR UTH T ABLES The f ollowing tab les are called TRUTH T ABLES . They illustrate the results of the pre vious logical operations with both A and B giv en f or e very possible combination of v alues.
61 Note that T = TRUE and F = F ALSE. Example: 10 INPUT A,B,C 20 IF A=B AND B=C THEN PRINT “ A=B=C” 30 IF (NO T A=B) OR (NO T B=C) THEN 50 40 END 50 PRINT “ A=B=C IS F ALSE” 60 END RUN ? 10 (pick a number) ?? 5 (pick a number) ?? 7 (pick a number) A=B=C IS F ALSE Moreov er AND , OR , and NO T can be used to manipulate numerical v alues.
62 Examples: 35 INPUT AMOUNT 140 INPUT “WHA T IS YOUR N AME”;N AME$ LET Line # LET variable = variable expression The v ariable e xpression is calculated and the result is stored under the variable .
63 NEW NEW erases all program lines from the active program area. PRINT Line # PRINT expression and/or character string The PRINT statement is used to produce output on the displa y panel. The PRINT command will print one or several items - either expressions or strings.
64 REST ORE If you want to use the same data later on in the program, you can do so by using the REST ORE statement. Example: 10 D A T A 1,3,8,9 20 READ A,B,D 30 RESTORE 40 READ X,Y 50 PRINT A;B;D 60 PRINT X;Y 70 END RUN 1 3 8 1 3 The REST ORE command makes subsequent READ statements get their v alues from the star t of the first DA T A statement.
65 REM Line # REM text REM is used to add comments in your program which are ignored when the program is RUN . Example: 10 REM**GUESSING GAME** 20 REM TEST OF SOR TING RUN RUN tells the computer to begin to perform your program beginning with the lowest statement n umber .
66 R OCK, P APER, SCISSORS 10 PRINT “Rock, Paper , Scissors” 20 PRINT “T ype in P , R, S” 30 INPUT “and see if you win. ->”; ANSWER$ 40 PRINT “Y ou :” ; ANSWER$; 50 MYGUESS = INT (R.
67 LIFE 10 PRINT “If an average life” 20 PRINT “span is 70 years” 30 PRINT “Then how many” 40 PRINT “generations would have” 50 PRINT “lived in 2000 years?” 60 INPUT “Enter a guess.
68 THE FORTUNE TELLER 10 DIM N$(5) 20 PRINT “The F ortune T eller” 30 INPUT “Are you a boy or a girl” ;S$ 40 INPUT “Pick a number between 2-5”; NUMBER 50 FOR COUNT = 1 TO NUMBER 60 IF S$ =.
