Variable characters - eoredson - 10-17-2024
Did you ever notice there are 32 symbols on the standard 102-key natural keyboard and only 1 can be used in a variable name!?
Code: (Select All)
Rem all 32 symbolic characters.
'dim x~.a as inetegr
'dim x.a` as intrger
'dim x!.a as integer
'dim x@.a as integer
'dim x#.a as integer
'dim x$.a as integer
'dim x%.a as integer
'dim x^.a as integer
'dim x&.a as integer
'dim x*.a as integer
'dim x(.a as integer
'dim x).a as integer
'dim x_.a as integer
'dim x-.a as integer
'dim x+.a as integer
'dim x=.a as integer
'dim x|.a as integer
'dim x\.a as integer
'dim x{.a as integer
'dim x[.a as integer
'dim x}.a as integer
'dim x].a as integer
'dim x:.a as integer
'dim x;.a as integer
'dim x".a as integer
'dim x<.a as integer
'dim x,.a as integer
'dim x>.a as integer
'dim x'.a as integer
Dim x.a As Integer
'dim x?.a as integer
'dim x/.a as integerRE: Variable characters - SMcNeill - 10-17-2024
Actually, I can easily use 12 symbols in my variable names. Can I ask what version of BASIC you're referring to, as I don't think it's QB64. Now, is there any missing symbols that I didn't include? You have to decide that for yourself!
Code: (Select All)
Dim xa% '% is used herre
Dim xa! '! is used here
Dim xa& '& is used here
Dim xa~% '~ is used here
Dim xa# '# is used here
Dim xa` '` is used here
Dim xa$ '$ is used here
Dim x.a '. is used here
Dim x_a '_ is used here
Dim x(0) '( is used here
Dim a(0) ' ) is used here
Dim xa(0, 0) ', is used here

More about symbols:
Code: (Select All)
Rem Dual operators:
x`1 = 1
x~` = 1
x%% = 1
x~& = 1
x&& = 1
x## = 1
x%& = 1
x$1 = "a"
Rem Triple operators:
x~&& = 1
x~%& = 1
Rem Doesn't exist:
x$$ = "a"RE: Variable characters - eoredson - 10-19-2024
In the 'C' programming language there are also some symbols:
Code: (Select All)
c=1
c=c+1
c++
c+=1RE: Variable characters - eoredson - 10-19-2024
In the SICK interpreter the following triple operators exist:
Code: (Select All)
Triple variable assignment operators:
+++ increment variable by one.
--- decrement variable by one.
!!= assign not value, for example: x!!=10
&&= assign and value
||= assign or value
++= assign addition value
--= assign negative value
**= assign multiple value
//= assign division value
\\= assign integer division value
^^= assign power value
^+= exponentiate value
^-= exponentiate negative value
<<= shift left by multiples of 2
>>= shift right by multiples of 2RE: Variable characters - SMcNeill - 10-19-2024
I must be missing something here. What's all this got to do with QB64, and what's the utility? Are you asking for help? Trying to teach a lesson? Just rambling off-topic?
You've completely lost me here as to what you're going on about in this entire thread.

Sorry, I was being entirely off-topic concerning posts about symbols, operators, and variable assignments in this thread.
Don't worry about it

SICK64F9.ZIP
specifies many additional triple symbolic operators..
