CLR

[ukcroupier]

Hit a problem while writing a 10 liner.

There is no RUN command and no CLR command, so resetting arrays becomes a problem unless you write a routine to do it yourself (which uses extra space that 10 liners don't have)

here's what I mean in a nutshell:

for i=1 to 99
dim x(999)
next i

After a few loops this crashes with a memory error. In Atari or Turbo Basic I would just add a CLR command or even start the program again with a RUN.

Of course, in a sensible program this wouldn't be an issue - but 10 line coding tends to be a bit wild and loose.

You are right, it should be a way to free memory. But it is not easy without also clearing all variables back to 0.

Do you think that would be reasonable?

CLR on Atari & Turbo also clears variables to 0 so I don't see this as a problem, in fact I would expect it.
