LET VALUE(4) = VALUE(1)       ' Copy the number in the first slot to the fourth slot

Answer:

The number in VALUE(1) (which is 19.234) is copied into VALUE(4).

Changing the Contents of a Subscripted Variable

This is nearly the same thing as what happens with ordinary variables:

LET SINK = SOURCE             ' Copy the number in SOURCE to the variable SINK

except that now subscripts are used to describe the both the value and where it goes.

Also, just as with ordinary variables, you can change what is in a subscripted variable as many times as you want. Look at this program:

DIM VALUE(1 TO 5)               '  Ask for an array of floating point numbers
                                '
LET VALUE(1) = 19.234           '  Put  19.234 into the first slot of the array
LET VALUE(2) = -12.6            '  Put -12.6   into the second slot
LET VALUE(3) = 99.85            '  Put  99.85  into the third slot

LET VALUE(1) =  __________      '  Change the value in the first slot to -20.08
LET VALUE(2) =  __________      '  Make the contents of slot 2 the same as slot 3

PRINT "First slot:", VALUE(1)   '  Print out the first  slot
PRINT "2nd   slot:", VALUE(2)   '  Print out the second slot
PRINT "3rd   slot:", VALUE(3)   '  Print out the third  slot
END
