Commodore VIC-20 - Page 34

The element numbers in every dimension start at 0 and end at the
number in the D!M statement. The number of elements created in
any dimension is the maximum subscript number PLUS 1. The total
number of elements is equal to the product of the number of
elements in ah dimension multiplied together.
There may be any number of dimensions and any number of
elements in an array, limited only by the amount of RAM memory
that is available to hold the variables. The array may be made up of
normal numeric variablesI as shown above, or o1 strings or integer
numbers. If the variables are to be other than normal numeric,
simply use the S or % signs after the variable name to indicate string
or integer variables.
It's easy to calculate the amount oi memory that will be used up
by an array:
MEMORY USED - 5 bytes for variable name
2 bytes for each dimension
2 bytes/element for integer variables
5 bytes/element for normal numeric variables
3 bytes/element for string variables
1 byle for each character in each string
element

END eRV^|n E0
This statement will finish the program when RUNning and return
complete control of the VIC to the person operating it. The CONT
command can be used to resume execution of the program after
the END statement was reached, because no variables or pointers
are cleared.
The END statement results in the message: READY.
The difference between STOP and END statements is slight: the
STOP statement displays the message:
BREAK IN LINE XXX
Neither STOP nor END is required to appear at any point in the
program in VIC BASIC, because a program running out of lines to
execute will END all by itself.
