Your First BBC Basic Programs - Tutorial 002

FOR...NEXT loops and use of simple PRINT satements

Work through the following small programs as follows

Print out this page (if a printer is available)
Type the first program into the "BBC Basic for Windows" MAIN WINDOW
Run the program by clicking on the arrow key or by clicking on "Run"
Edit the program to update it to the next one! Run again and see the effect of the changes you have made.

By observing the effect of these small changes you will soon learn to write your own programs.....

    MODE8
      FOR n=1 TO 40
        PRINT n
      NEXT

      MODE8
      FOR n=1 TO 40
        PRINT n;
      NEXT

      MODE8
      FOR n=1 TO 20
        PRINT n,2*n
      NEXT

      MODE8
      PRINT"Squares"
      FOR n=1 TO 10
        PRINT n, n^2
      NEXT

      MODE8
      PRINT"Square Roots"
      FOR n=1 TO 10
        PRINT n, SPC(5); SQR(n)
      NEXT

      MODE8
      PRINTTAB(15)"Square Roots"
      PRINT
      FOR n=1 TO 10
        PRINT n, SPC(15); SQR(n)
      NEXT

      MODE8
      PRINTTAB(15)"Square Roots"
      PRINT
      FOR n=10 TO 100 STEP 10
        PRINT n, SPC(15); SQR(n)
        PRINT
      NEXT

For more info on the use of the PRINT statement, see the BB4W (BBC Basic for Windows) "Help" available on the Editing Window. (For the present you may prefer to leave that for later as there may be more detail there than you need at the moment).
