  • And ~’ for unsigned bits, and ‘n for number of bits.

  • about syntax:
    I find interesting the idea to use
    Code: QB64: [Select]
    1.  DIM set of variables AS TYPE
    , in this case DIM and AS TYPE work like {} of the other languages and for this reason for each AS TYPE must be typed a DIM... and this brings to a result similar to the discussion on Discord to let declare one type of data for line of code with the new syntax of DIM
    Code: QB64: [Select]
    1. DIM AS INTEGER a, b, c ', etc...
    2. DIM AS SINGLE d, e, f ', etc...

    Surely old and new syntax CANNOT be mixed on the same line of code!  (as you can see code is a SINGLE variable  :-P)

    Programming isn't difficult, only it's  consuming time and coffee
