 SS> Can somebody explain me why this is,
With % the loop counting variables are integers, without them they
are single precision floating point variables. Working with integers
is much faster than working with floating point variables.
It's a bit strange that in basic the default variable type is single
precision floating point. Integer would be much better in most
cases. You can make integer the default type by beginning your code
with the statement DEFINT A-Z.
 SS> and if there is a way to do it faster?
No.
