Add> and Sub> doesn't allow for dynamic variables

[Grovkillen]

This doesn't work:

Code: Select all

Let>var_1=0
Let>var_2=0
Let>var_3=0
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
  Let>k=k+1
  Add>var_%k%,1
  //Sub>var_%k%,1
Until>k=3

And I need to do this to make it work:

Code: Select all

Let>var_1=0
Let>var_2=0
Let>var_3=0
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
  Let>k=k+1
  Let>temp_value=var_%k%
  Add>temp_value,1
  Let>var_%k%=temp_value
Until>k=3

Let>, GoSub> etc. allows for dynamic variable naming and intuitively I thought Add> and Sub> also allowed for this.

Add was deprecated by Let for numeric calculations. It seems to do what you're expecting if you use Let instead.

Code: Select all

Let>var_1=0
Let>var_2=0
Let>var_3=0
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
  Let>k=k+1
  Let>var_%k%=var_%k%+1
  //Sub>var_%k%,1
Until>k=3

Ok so it should be removed then? I kinda like to use those two commands.

I think that's personal preference. It's been kept in for the sake of backward compatibility, but as you've discovered there may be times where it isn't suitable.
