Hello,

I have problem whit my code, can someone help me

GOSUB SYNTAX is something like that:

+ Code Snippet

....
IF SOMETHING = SOMETHING THEN GOSUB SUB:

SUB:
PRINT "...."
RETURN

right?

And there is my code:

+ Code Snippet

PRINT "WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? WRITE GO OR WRITE QUIT:"
INPUT Total

REMSTART
Should I change IF to SWITCH (CASE...)?
REMEND

IF TOTAL = QUIT
   PRINT "Press any key to QUIT"
   WAIT KEY
   GOSUB QUIT:
IF TOTAL = GO
   PRINT "Are you sure you want to GO?"
   WAIT KEY
   GOSUB WOW:
ENDIF

WOW:
PRINT "WOW, we are in sub called WOW. Press any key"
WAIT KEY

PRINT "Write BACK"
INPUT QUIT

IF QUIT = BACK
   RETURN
ENDIF

QUIT:
PRINT "You are going to exit now... :( "
WAIT KEY

REMSTART
There need RETURN command? Well, it don't work either whit it.
Is there anything command like NO RETURN? :)
REMEND
END

, Thank you for help and tips.

You don't put a colon (

after the parameter on return. So...

NOT - gosub sub:
YES - gosub sub

Also, this isn't good...

+ Code Snippet

IF QUIT = BACK
RETURN
ENDIF

All gosub commands need a return, else you get muddled up.
Instead use something like...

+ Code Snippet

IF QUIT <> BACK
   END
ENDIF

RETURN

END ends the program straight away, so you don't have to wait for it to run to the end of the code

.

P.s. Use the code button at the top in the future for code, it makes it easy to see apart from your other writing. Just highlight the code and press it

.

EDIT: Oh you have now

.

Also just noticed... use this...

+ Code Snippet

IF TOTAL = QUIT
   PRINT "Press any key to QUIT"
   WAIT KEY
   GOSUB QUIT:
ELSE
   IF TOTAL = GO
      PRINT "Are you sure you want to GO?"
      WAIT KEY
      GOSUB WOW:
   ENDIF
ENDIF

I recommend you look at my tutorial, it's on the newcomers forum, stickied at the top. It covers basic syntax.

Trying is the first step towards faliure.

Well, thank you for the help. This time i got my code compiled, but it doesn't still work like i want:

[IN FULL SCREEN]
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? WRITE GO OR WRITE QUIT:
-> GO
Press any key to QUIT
-> Any key
... and then it ends.

I don't understant why it takes wrong IF...

+ Code Snippet

PRINT "WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? WRITE GO OR WRITE QUIT:"
INPUT Total

IF TOTAL = QUIT
   PRINT "Press any key to QUIT"
   WAIT KEY
   END
ENDIF

IF TOTAL = GO
   PRINT "Are you sure you want to GO?"
   WAIT KEY
   GOSUB WOW
ENDIF

WOW:
PRINT "WOW, we are in sub called WOW. Press any key"
WAIT KEY

PRINT "Write BACK"
INPUT BACK

IF BACK = BACK
   RETURN
ENDIF

instead of this Total put this Total$ a string variable.

so the code it supposed to be like this

PRINT "WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? WRITE GO OR WRITE QUIT:"
INPUT Total$

IF TOTAL$ = "QUIT"
PRINT "Press any key to QUIT"
WAIT KEY
END
ENDIF

IF TOTAL$ = "GO"
PRINT "Are you sure you want to GO?"
WAIT KEY
GOSUB WOW
ENDIF

WOW:
PRINT "WOW, we are in sub called WOW. Press any key"
WAIT KEY

PRINT "Write BACK"
INPUT BACK

IF BACK$ = "BACK"
RETURN
ENDIF

I think that shuld work!

Do subroutines work if you run them outside of loops? Honestly, try reading the manual.

comando 300, thank for the help! I love you

.

And sponge008... honestly, try reading the manners. This is newscorner so why wouldn't i ask help here? And i have read manuals, but it is not just my fault if my code don't work (I have DarkBasic Pro -tutorial and Beginners Guide to The Darkbasic). And if you don't want to help, then you can be quiet.

To simplify your logic, try this...

IF upper$(TOTAL$) = "QUIT"
PRINT "Press any key to QUIT"
WAIT KEY
END
ENDIF

The upper$ command returns your string as all upper case and makes it easier to match the literal string part of the IF statement.
