Tandy 1000 Basic Reference Manual

Chapter 10 I BASIC Keywords
GOTO Statement
GOTO line
Branches to the specified line.
When used alone, GOTO results in an unconditional branch.
However, test statements, such as IFITHEN, may precede the
GOTO
to effect a conditional branch. Note that the GOTO is op-
tional in IFiTHEN statements. For example:
IF X=O THEN 360 ELSE 200
BASIC branches to Line 360 if X equals 0. If not, BASIC
branches
to Line 200
You can use GOTO in the command mode as an alternative
to
RUN. This lets you pass values assigned as a command to vari-
ables used in the program.
Example
GOTO 100
BASIC transfers control to Line 100.
Sample Program
10
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
Line 10
READ R
IF R = 13 THEN 80
PR I NT "R =" ; R
A=3.1 4*RA2
PRINT "AREA =";A
GOTO 10
DATA 5,7,12, 13
END
reads each of the data items in Line 70; Line 60 returns
program control
to Line 10. This enables BASIC to calculate the
area for each of the data items until it reaches item
13.
