How to use int variables in for loop?

[MontyHall 1]

I thought this would be legal code

 

100 for b% = 0 to 10

110 print b%

120 next b

 

But I get a syntax error at line 100.  Is this not possible?  Or how to do it correctly.

I don't think you can create Integer variables. They will always be floating point or strings.

Your example would be

Quote

100 FOR B = 0 TO 10

110 PRINT B

120 NEXT B

String variable names are followd by a dollar sign.

Quote

A$ = "HELLO, WORLD"

Of course you can not do counting on strings

You can't use integer variables for FOR loops, you have to use regular real variables.

Keep in mind: integer variables are still stored as floating point and actually introduce a performance hit by having to do rounding all the time. That's why you don't want to bother with one for a loop variable. Only use them when you absolutely need arithmetic results to be automatically rounded.
