compile error

[sid6.7]

i get this msg pointing to this section of my code

237B 012E expression too complex

the section was larger so i broke it down
to this msall part but i am still getting the
error while compling..

when running the program as a BAS its fine

Code: Select all

lanips:

'checking to see if the spinal is particle or meson or NONE

 LET spine$ = ""
 LET spin = 0
 LET spynal = 0

'is the ship BIG enough?

 IF tons > 99999 THEN
       LET spin = INT(RND * 2) + 1
 END IF

RETURN

Don't use LET.

Like Nek said, LET is a useless command provided for backwards compatibility only.

Also, you might want to check the DataTYpe for tons, make sure it's LONG, not integer. since you're comparing against 99999 and integers, in QB, only go up to 32768.

Hope this helps.

hmmm i removed all the lets, i tried LONG VS INT
i tried making numbers smaller IE...99999 /4 = mini
tons = tons /4

if tons > mini then blah blah blah...


then i even removed EVERYTHING so it was blank

IE...

lanips:

RETURN

and it still gave me that same error....

could i have too many lines of code? 1024...

its so wierd that it works fine as a *.BAS but wont compile
why is that?

Are you sure the error is in that part?

[sid6.7]

here is there error code again
when i run make standalone EXE

Code: Select all

2372 012E   lanips:
            ^expression too complex

0 warnings
1 severe error

42909 bytes available
29734 bytes free

i assumed that since it prints lanips it meant that section?

[sid6.7]

oopsy....rookie mistake

it was in a section ABOVE lanips:

i had a double subtraction going on in a formula

IE

blah = int(blah - blah - - blah - blah)

so the error msg must print out the next line
after the KABOOM?




sigh....
