10 LET weekday$ = "FIRST"
20 LET word$ = "OF"
30 LET month$ = "FEBRUARY"
40 LET length1 = LEN (weekday$)
50 LET length2 = LEN (word$)
60 LET length3 = LEN (month$)
70 LET sum = length1 + length2 + length3
80 LET average = sum/3
90 PRINT average
RUN
The symbol / means divided by. The output or result of running the program is simply:
5
And there are eight internal pigeon holes involved:
If you think that is a lot of fuss for a fairly simple problem you can certainly shorten it. The shortest
version would be a single line but it would be less easy to read. A reasonable compromise uses the
symbol "&" which stands for the operation:
Join two strings
Now type:
NEW
10 LET weekday$ = "FIRST"
20 LET word$ = "OF"
30 LET month$ = "FEBRUARY"
40 LET phrase$ = weekday$ & word$ & month$
50 LET length = LEN(phrase$)
60 PRINT length/3
RUN
The output is 5 as before but there are some different internal effects:
