Revison 17 (Version 9.0) new build, and How to go BASIC

In last build before this one, m2000.dll was from revision 16. So now is ok, and readme says "new build".



How to Go Basic
Some ideas to use M2000 as a Basic Interpreter.

\\ prepare M2000 to run close to basic
set switches "+FOR +DIM"
\\ using -FOR we enter loop 6 times.

For i=10 to 5 step 1 {
      Print "never enter"
}

Dim A(5)
\\ 6 elements if we use +DIM
For i=0 to 5 : Print A(I) : Next I

\\ Prepare Data using Flush
Flush
Data 10, 30,80,150,300,650,1640
\\ only Long needed to declare for numbers
\\ else is a double, or can be integer using % as last char.
Long M, S
While IsNum {
      M+=Number
      S++
}
\\ we can use = or == (double = use rounding before perform compare)
Print Round(M/S,3), Int(M/S)==408, Round(M/S,0)==409
Print Type$(M), Type$(S) \\ Long
Data 10, 30,80,150,300,650,1640
Sum%=0
Items%=0
Repeat {
      Read A%
      Sum%+=A%
      Items%++
} Until Empty
Print Round(Sum%/Items%,3), Int(Sum%/Items%)==408, Round(Sum%/Items%,0)==409
Print Type$(Sum%), Type$(Items%) \\ Double internal.

Print Eval("Sum%/Items%")

\\ Simply data inline code
Data "George", 51, "Alexander", 27, "Sofia", 24, "Fotini", 19
Min=1000 : Max=0
While not Empty {
      Read Name$, Age
      Print Name$, Age
      Min=Min.data(Min, Age)
      Max=Max.data(Max, Age)
}
Print Format$("Ages are form {0} to {1}", Min, Max)
\\ USING NO NESTED IF WITHOUT USING BLOCK OF CODES
If Ask("Choose 1 or 2","make your choise","1", "2")=1 Then Print "No good" : Print "if true only"
Else.If rnd>.5 then Print "Else.If" : Print "Only in else.if"
Else Print "Good" : Print "if else only"
\\ We have to use blocks
If true Then {
     If false Then {
            \\  nothing
       } Else.If false Then {
             \\ nothing
       } Else {
        Print "ok"
  }
}
