Chapter 10 I BASIC Ke-ywords
LET
Statement
[LET] variable = expression
Assigns the value of expression to variable.
Variable
is a numeric or string variable.
Expression is a numeric or string constant or expression. A
BASIC function can be substituted for expression.
BASIC does not require assignment statements to begin with
LET, but you might want to use LET to be compatible with ver-
sions
of BASIC that do require it.
Examples
LET A$ = "A ROSE IS A ROSE"
LET E1 = 1 .23
LET X = X - 21
LET X = SQRCB)
In each case, the variable on the left side of the equals
sign is assigned the value
of the constant, expression, or
function on the right side.
Sample Program
550 P = 1001 : PRINT "P 1'' P
560 LET P = 2001: PRINT "NOW P ="P
