Type Mathematical function
Syntax expression1 / expression2
Description The operator / divides expression1 by expression2.
Arguments • expression1
Any valid BASIC expression.
• expression2
Any valid BASIC expression.
Example result = 11 / 4
Assigns the value 2.75 to the variable result.

Type Mathematical function
Syntax expression1 ^ expression2
Description The power operator ^ raises expression1 to the power of
expression2.
This operation uses floating point algorithms and may give small devia-
tions for integer calculations.
Arguments • expression1
Any valid BASIC expression.
• expression2
Any valid BASIC expression.
Example result = 2^5
Assigns the value 32 to the variable result.

Type Mathematical function
Syntax expression1 = expression2
Description The operator = returns TRUE if expression1 is equal to expression2,
otherwise it returns FALSE.
Arguments • expression1
Any valid BASIC expression.
• expression2
Any valid BASIC expression.
Example IF a = 10 THEN GOTO label1
If variable a contains a value equal to 10, program execution continues
at label label1. Otherwise, program execution continues with the next
statement.
