Integer BASIC can duplicate this function by using string arrays.
Example
10 A$= II ABCDEFG"
20 PRINT LEFT$ (A$, 3)
30 END
]RUN [Ret]
ABC
The
preceding LEFT$ function returned the 3 leftmost characters
in A$. .
In
Integer BASIC, the statement PRINT A$ (1,3) would return the
same characters. (Be sure that the variable A$ has previously
been dimensioned to 7 in Integer BASIC.)
