LET is a needless statement today. It was designed for the very early BASIC dialects to assign a value to a variable.
Syntax
- LET variable = expression
Description
- LET a = 12 is the very same as a = 12, but wastes 4 extra bytes of program space.
- That said, LET is optional, it's the only keyword where the entire keyword is optional.😀
