BASIC FUNCTIONS SECTION 5.5
5.5.1
DATA
Function DATA statements hold constants for use in subsequent READ
statements.
Syntax DATA item 1, item 2 ..... , item n.
Examples 100 DATA 12,A1,25,SIN(0,5),MID$(A$,3,4),99
110 DATA 5,6, 7,8,6*5,"HELLO"
Remark
After reading the value 99 the READ will take 5, and so on,
until every data value is used. This form of data storage
is not affected by CLEAR or program line changes which will
erase variables. To return to the first value in a DATA
list use the RESTORE statement,
A data statement must appear on a program line by itself,
It cannot form part of a multiple statement.
The arguments for DATA statements can be either numerical
values, variables, or expressions. Multiple arguments are
separated by commas.
String variables may be used in DATA statements. Direct
text must be enclosed in quotes.
NOTE: Care must be taken that. variables in the
corresponding READ statement are of the same type as the
DATA.
