STOP Statement
Stops program execution.
When BASIC encounters
a STOP statement, it prints the mes-
sage “BREAK IN
xax,” where xxxx is the line number that con-
tains the STOP. STOP is primarily a debugging tool. During the
break in execution,
you can examine variables or change their
values.
Use the CONT statement if you want
to resume execution. If the
program itself has been altered during the break, you cannot
use CONT.
Unlike the END statement, STOP does not close files.
Sample Program
2260 X = RNDCl0)
2270 STOP
2280 GOT0 2260
A random number in the range 1 to 10 is assigned to X and
then program execution halts
at Line 2270. You can now exam-
ine the value
X with PRINT X. Type CONT to start the cycle
again.
