Title: Not often used Cbasic Syntax :)
Post by: pistol350 on July 02, 2009, 06:25:21 AM

While converting an old Cbasic program to Ebasic, I found this particular code :
Pay attention to the first line with the FOR statement
It took me a few minutes searching The Cbasic User guide to figure out what that meant.
See the extract below :

Code Select


...
for ang=0 to (1815*speed) #aint[speed] 
     ca360=ang 
     ca=-1*(ca360-90) 
     pinx=cosd(ca)*halfs 
     piny=sind(ca)*halfs 
     rody=sqrt(rodl^2 + pinx^2) 
     pispin=rody+piny 
     pistop=pispin+ch 
     roda=atan(pinx/rody)/deg2rad 
     rodw=3.500 
 'convert rod angle to radians 
  rarad=roda*deg2rad 
     gosub draw 
next ang
...

QuoteSTEP Usage

FOR loopvar = startno TO endno #stepno
----- OR -----

FOR loopvar = startno TO endno STEP stepno

Also

QuoteFOR variable = start TO end {# skip}
ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã,Â¦
NEXT variable

FOR counter = 1 TO 20 #2
PRINT "Hello ",name$
NEXT counter

Hope this TIPS can be helpful to anyone.

What is that ???
I never see something similiar ::)

Code Select

#aint[speed] - is that pointer or what?

Hi Zlatko!
As explained above,

Code Select

#aint[speed]
and

Code Select

step aint[speed]

are the same in Cbasic .
