CipherLab BASIC Programming Part I
The following are the guidelines used in writing programs in this manual, including the
sample program. These guidelines are recommended for program readability, but they
are not compulsory.
Reserved words and symbolic constants appear in uppercase letters:
PRINT “Portable Terminal Demo Program”
BEEP(800, 30, 0, 5, 800, 15, 0, 5, 800, 15)
Variable names are in lowercase with an initial capital letter. If variable names are
combined with more than one part, other capital letters may be used to make it
easier to read:
ProcessFlag% = 0
Temp$ = GET_RECORD$(3, 1)
Line labels are used instead of line numbers:
ON READER(2) GOSUB GetSlotReader
