Hi, I found something odd today in the powerful CBM BASIC v2.0. Having worked with Sinclair BASIC quite a lot recently, I use GOTO X where X is a valid line number (i.e., LET X = 100). But I know that's not possible with Microsoft BASIC. Of course there is the ON X GO TO 100,200 ... So I thought "I know, I'll try and use a function, could CBM BASIC use this as a look up table". The following, I expected to go to the value in the function A() which returns 10, but... 0 DEF FN A(X) = 10 1 PRINT FN A(0) 2 GO TO FN A(0) 3 PRINT "END GRACEFULLY" 4 END 10 PRINT "STOP" 11 STOP Try it for yourself. What's going on here? Thanks in advance.
