The single quote mark ' (which can be typed by holding down [SHIFT] and pressing
the 7 key) can be used as a substitute for : REM. For example:
HI I Zap the i n v a d e r s [RETURN]
20 L = 5 I nu m b e r 0 f l i ve s [RETURN]
GOSUB
If there are a set of instructions within a program which are to be carried out a
number of times, these instructions need not be typed in repeatedly every time they
are needed in the program; instead, they can be made into a 'sub-routine' which when
required,
can be called into action by the command GO SUB followed by the line
number. The end of
the G 0 SUB -routine is marked by typing in the instruction
RE T URN. At this point the computer will return to the instruction that immediately
followed
the GO SUB command which it had just obeyed.
For example,
in the following program:
10 a=2
20 PRINT "here is the";a;"times table"
30 FOR b=1 TO 12
40 c=a*b
50 PRINT a;"x";b;"=";c
60 NEXT
