Answer:

No. The DIM statement asks for a collection of seven things, numbered one through seven. Only subscripts (item numbers) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 can be used.

Complete Program

Here is a program that uses an array:

DIM DAY$(1 TO 7)                    ' Make an array of seven strings.
LET DAY$(1) = "Monday"              ' Make "Monday" the first string.
PRINT "The day is", DAY$(1)         ' Print out the first string.
END

The program is complete. You can enter it into QBasic and run it. It writes out:

The day is   Monday

When this program begins, it creates an array. The array holds seven items, and each item is a string. Each string starts out as the "empty string"—it contains no characters. Then the string "Monday" is put into the first position. Here is a picture of the array after the first two statements have executed:

Monday
1	2	3	4	5	6	7

The array is a collection of numbered "slots". In this picture there are seven slots, numbered 1, 2, 3, ... 7. "Monday" is in the first slot, DAY$(1).

QUESTION 6:

Fill in the blank so that "Tuesday" is put into the second slot.

LET DAY$(_____) = "Tuesday"
