Sinclair QL User Manual

Some Techniques
CONCLUSION We have tried to show how you can use SuperBASIC to solve problems. We have shown
how simple
tasks can be performed in simple ways. When the task is inherently complex,
like manipulating arrays or designing screen graphics, SuperBASIC enables
it to be
handled
efficiently with maximum possible clarity.
If you were a beginner and you have worked through a fair proportion of this guide
you will have started well on the road to good programming. If you were already
experienced,
we hope that you will appreciate and exploit the extra features offered by
SuperBASIC
So enormous
is the range of tasks which can be done with SuperBASIC that we have
only been able
to touch a fraction of them in this guide. We cannot guess at which of
the thousands of possibilities
you will attempt, but we hope that you will find them fruitful,
stimulating and fun.
