if so, how about some BASIC questions... :)
I have also learned that it would be best to define types as we assign numbers in rapidQ code like such:
dim a = 200% '(notice symbol after number $%& ?? ect...)
' to take less bits in source file & such or something like that...
Since MACRO preprocesses your code, ... replacing instances of found macro "word" ...
Should we declare constants as so :
MACRO pi 3.1416!
?
or something similar, i might have not put a valid symbol, as i am to lazy to lookup the symbol table.
??????????

Now back in the days <gets all old geeky> we had just a tiny amount of space to work with - 1 kilobyte on the Sinclair ZX 81, 3.5 kilobytes on the Commodore VC 20 .... so every byte counted. Heck! Back then I programmed in assembler only because you needed the speed and the memory!
But computers are bolted together from bits (cards for sound, graphics etcetera) that make assembler programming too hard to do. They have memory to spare and speed too, so a high level language like Rapid Q is fine. Again I say; why bother with TYPES? Why I even get so lazy as not to start arrays at the 0 element now! | 3.

Guidance, please enlighten us with your wisdom! | 4. Re: I heard that CONST uses var space... #4401 | | I remember RQ regards default variables and constants as double. If you want other types, many people, including myself, suggest using dim statement, in stead of attaching type symbols, this reduces your typing :) , more important, eases the portability in the future one day. | | Forum List • Thread List • Reply • Refresh • New Topic • Search • Previous • Next 1 |
