Mathematical Operations and Commands
+ Add
Type:
Arithmetic operation
Syntax
<expression1> + <expression2>
Description:
Adds two expressions
Parameters:
Example:
result=10+(2.1*9)
Trio BASIC evaluates the parentheses first giving the value 18.9 and then adds the
two expressions. Therefore result holds the value 28.9
- Subtract
Type:
Arithmetic operation
Syntax
<expression1> - <expression2>
Description:
Subtracts expression2 from expression1
Parameters:
Example:
VR(0)=10-(2.1*9)
Trio BASIC evaluates the parentheses first giving the value 18.9 and then subtracts
this from 10. Therefore VR(0) holds the value -8.9
