If Then Statements

[omni]

For 'if then' statements I know that you need an 'end' statement like this:

If B=9
Then
Disp "hi
Disp "bye
End

But what if I just had an If statement:

If B=9:Disp "hi

would I require an 'end statement as well?

[Arcane Wizard]

Nope.

But without an End it's slower,

If B=9
Then
Disp "Hi"
End

is faster than

If B=9
Disp "Hi"

This is caused by the basic interpreter which has to look for an end.

[Adm.Wiggin]

no, it would just execute the next code...

If I had something like this would I encounter a memory problem?

If 4=A
Then
Disp "hii
Disp "bye
prgmOTHER
End

[IntrnalDsK]

Not unless prgmOTHER was a fairly large program, or prgmOTHER had something like this:


-99999999999999999999999999->A
Repeat A=1
A+1->A
End

Which would take a long time to run through, and would cause a memory problem itself.

[Arcane Wizard]

Ie, the end won't cause the memory problem.

And:

-99999999999999999999999999->A
Repeat A=1
A+1->A
End

Shouldn't cause a memory problem either

And prmgOTHER would only cause memory problems if it had those problems in it's code or take a lot of memory itself.

[omni]

alright because I remember reading a tutorial that said that if you write an if then statement and your program is large and has a lot of loops and what not, then you'll encounter a memory problem because it can never find the 'end' statement, which has happened to me. Before my code looked something like this:

While 1
getkey->A
If A=21:Goto SE
If A=24:Goto LF
If A=26:Goto RT
End
and so on

Then I changed it

[Darth Android]

try not to use gotos, cuz they're slow

[Darth Android]

[JesusFreak]

then what would he use if not Goto s?

[Arcane Wizard]

[JesusFreak]

[Arcane Wizard]

[JesusFreak]

maybe

most likely

[omni]

Jesusfreak instead of using gotos I am using a repeat loop .

[Darth Android]

very good. goto's are always just plain slow. u have to have a good reason to use them.

[omni]

If my repeat loop looked like this:

54->Y
Repeat Q
Line(37,Y,46,Y
Line(37,Y,40,Y+2
Line(37,Y,40,Y-2
Repeat getKey
End
Ans->X
Line(37,Y,46,Y,0
Line(37,Y,40,Y+2,0
Line(37,Y,40,Y-2,0
Y-18(X=35)+18(X=26->Y
Y-18(Y>54->Y
Y+18(Y<18->Y
End


And I wanted it to stop whe the user pressed enter or 2nd would I put a
"X=105 or X=21->Q "
somewhere in my loop?

[Adm.Wiggin]

yes, if it is at the end, then it would be a faster exit im thinking...

Doesn't it work without the parenthasis?
