Operators

Comparision: <, >, =, <>, <=, >=
Basic math.: +, -, *, /, mod, and, or, xor

Statements

Statement: Bye

Exit the WDBadic-Program, and returned to the Operating System.

Statement: Break <Line>

Set a breakpoint on the given line.

Statement: Continue

The broken program will be continue

Statement: Delete

Delete a file from the operating system

Statement: End

The running program will be ended. The program cannot continue. The values of the variables are not cleared.

Statement: For <variable>=<expr> to <expr> step <expr>

Loops from the start value to the end value the next statements to the Statement “Next”.

Statement: Goto <line>

The program goes to the specified line.

Statement: Gosub <line>

The program goes to the specified sub.

Statement: Help

Show this help.

Statement: If [expr] then [statement]

The expression/condition is 0 then the statement after “then” will be exectute.

Statement: Info

Show any information about WDBasic.

Statement: Input <variable>[, < variable >[,…]]

Reads one or more values and write it into the variable(s) from the user.

Statement: [Let] <variable>=<expr>

Calculate the expression and write the value into the variable.

The keyword “let” is optional

Statement: List [<Startline> [, <Endline>]]

List the program between the given lines. By the default all lines are displayed

Statement: Load

Load a program from the operating system with the extension “.bas”

Statement: New

Clear the programs and the variable. The program is stopped

Statement: Next

Look the Statement “For”.

Statement: On <integer> Goto line [, line [, line [, ..]]]

The program jumps to the specified line.

Statement: Pause [seconds]

Without the secondexpress the program wait until a key was pressed.

With seconds the program will wait the seconds.

Statement: Print <expr>[, < expr >[,…]] [;]

Prints the expressions

When the program start with “run” the executed lines are displayed.

Statement: Unbreak <Line>

Cleared the breakpoint on the given lines

Statement: Untrace

Stop the tracing.
