Bug Report

I don't know if you saw my last bug report but here it is again plus a new one


Sorry but with machineBASIC Version 2.04 you seem to have broken the floating point "IF" statment.
The following works with INT vars.

// [1]
ok function xx() 
dim i, j 
   i=2 
   j=1 
     if i > j then 
         print "\r\nBig\r\n" 
     endif 
endf

ok
ok xx
Big

ok

However if you do the same thing with floating point the following happens.

******************************************************************

// [2]
ok function zz() 
dim i#,j# 
  i#=2.0 
  j#=1.0 
  if i# > j# then
.....

ERROR (44) function does not return anything at if

ok
************************************************************************

NEW BUG WITH FOR LOOP

// [3]
function loop()
dim i
   for i = 1 to 10 
      print i,i*i,"\n\r"
   next i
endf

ok loop
ERROR (14) <at for loop> variable or function not found at (for)

Happy bug fixing ...... Neil

Neil, thanks for the report, much appreciated.
[1][2] This is now fixed 2.04 201210059
[3] Cant find anything wrong with this actual code but you did mention floating point. There is an error in the documentation. The for/next loop only works with integer variables, a very early version used float as well but this had a massive impact on speed and so this was dropped but the documentation was not updated.

Thanks - will try new version for case [1] [2] above

However in case [3] the loop var i is an int.
The code compiles error 14 is thrown at run time.

Thanks Neil

Have just loaded MB v2.04 59

This seems to fix the "IF" and "FOR loop" problem.

Thanks for your efforts.

I will report any new bugs found with as much evidence as possible

Regards Neil
