List of fancy little QuickBasic coding tricks
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2007 2:37 pm
Ya okay, quirks is not the best word to use, but with my mental English dictionary being shut down, it'll do for now.
BASICally what I'm wondering is if there is a book or a website that deals with all the little fancy things in QuickBASIC, that set the line between a so-and-so programmer, and a show-off programmer.
Like for instance, Mac's use of INPUT$(1) in http://www.petesqbsite.com/forum/viewto ... 5080#15080
Or how Dav is able to put a comment at the end of a DATA sentence by using a colon in http://www.petesqbsite.com/forum/viewto ... 5039#15039
Those little things that is not common knowledge and that is perhaps not always found in the QuickBasic help, but that can really add something to a program, and make it better and easier to read. That is the kind of list that I'm looking for.
