Commodore VIC-20 - VARIABLES

EXAMPLES:
4-1 results in 3
100-64 results in 36
A~B results in the difference between
the value of the two variables.
55-142 results in -87
The minus can also be used as a unary minus; that is, the minus
sign preceding a negative number.
EXAMPLES:
-5
-9E4
-B
4 — 2 same as 4 + 2
c. Multiplication (*). An asterisk specifies that the term on the
right is multiplied by the term on the left.
EXAMPLES:
100*2 results in 200
50*0 results in 0
A*X1
R%*14
d. Division (I). The slash specifies that the term on the left is to be
divided by the term on the right.
EXAMPLES:

6400/4 results in 1600
A/B
4E2/XR
e. Exponentiation ( f )- The up arrow specifies that the term on
the left is raised to the power specified by the term on the right. If the
term on the right is 2, the number on the left is squared; if the term
on the right is 3. the number on the left is cubed, etc. The exponent
can be any number, variable, or expression, as long as the
exponentiation yields a number in the VIC's range.
