Testing the Transaction Type

Now a choice will be made between two tasks depending on the character the user typed. So far the program looks like this:

' Get the starting balance 
PRINT "What is the starting balance"
INPUT BALANCE
'
' Determine transaction type 
PRINT "Type a 'D' for a deposit or a 'C' for a check"
INPUT TYPE$
'
IF ___________ THEN
  Process a deposit. 
ELSE
  Process a check. 
END IF
Print the new balance. 
END

Test if a string variable like TYPE$ is equal to another string (such as the string "D") by using the equal sign =.
