ugBASIC forum

A few years back, Usborne publishing released PDF versions of their books from the 80's about BASIC programming. https://usborne.com/us/books/computer-and-coding-books If I, or anyone else, were to adopt these to ugBASIC, could we post them in the snippets or completed programs area following the pu...

After looking back at my code, it looks like I was the one that had my x's and y's turned around.
But if I accidentally helped you make an improvement, I guess it's all is good!
Everything appears to work as intended.

Thanks for taking a look. Not to worry. I have plenty of patience.
I'll have to update my code snippet I posted after the fix since I posted it with AT$(Y,X) syntax.

This might be a coco 3 thing but it appears AT$(y,x) works correctly instead of AT$(x,y).

Thanks for your help. It works as intended.
Also, thanks Ervin your suggestions.

I've cleaned up the example and posting it in the snippet area.

Good news. It compiles with no errors and prints the QTY value. However, there seems to be some odd behavior in the way it treats the QTY variable. With the example below if you use the freshly read qty in a for/next, QTY appears to be treated as a 0. When it is part of a calculation, total=total+qt...

I get an error when compiling this because of the string variable in the READ statement and I assume it has to defining the DATA as a type.
How should I correct this to read in the data string/integer pair?
