Not often used Cbasic Syntax :)

[pistol350]

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 Expand


...
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
...


STEP Usage

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

FOR loopvar = startno TO endno STEP stepno

Also

FOR variable = start TO end {# skip}
â€Ã,¦
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

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

Hi Zlatko!
As explained above,

Code Select Expand

#aint[speed]
and

Code Select Expand

step aint[speed]

are the same in Cbasic .

Ahh I see that is just variable name
I think
