So I recently acquired an apple IIe and it works great. I've been wanting to learn how to program simple programs and stuff, and was typing in some code from the II+ programming manual. When it came time to input line 60 (60 TOP=10) I did so and continued on. But when I went to run the program, it gave me SYNTAX ERROR ON LINE 60. Needless to say, I was a bit confused because I thought I'd done it right, but I didn't pay much notice and corrected it. So after correcting it, I tried to run it and got the same thing. So of course, I typed in LIST 60 And rather than saying 60 TOP = 10 it had changed to 60 T OP = 10. I was confused, but I corrected it and tried to run it again. And got the same error with the same issue. I tried retyping the entire program 3 times, even condensing the other 2 related lines into one, and it still changed it. Its almost like its autocorrecting it. I didn't even know apple IIs did that. Any ideas?
Variables only use 2 character, so the first two characters conflicts with the reserved word "TO" used with the "FOR" statement syntax
Oh. Then why would they put it in the manual, and why doesn't it do it to the second top
60 TOP = 10
..is allowable in Integer Basic, but not Applesoft.
Exactly what manual gave that example?
Note the use of CALL -936 instead of HOME. This definitely came from an Integer BASIC manual.
It was the II+ programming manual.did they make any official ones for Applesoft?
There are many II+ programming manuals. Is there part number or ISBN number? Or an existing scan? Something that would provide a positive ID.
