Hello,
I'm trying to learn programming (so I'm playing around )
but I want to be able to input a name and retrieve it at a later time.
cane someone help. here's my learning, practice code..so don't laugh..please
thanks David p.s. if you see anything else in there you can help with, feel free.

rem batting average
rem center text 25
rem RGB(255,255,0)1
set text to bolditalic
set text size 16
ink 5000,20

circle 300,250,100

x = 100
y = 100
rem text x,y, 100
rem return dword = RGB(255,0,255)
name$= Z$
print " what is your name?"
input Z$
rem print name$
print " number of at bats"

input a#
print " number of hits"
input b#
c# = b# / a#
print " batting average"
set text size 35
print c#
if c#

Code is nearly there Try putting the name$=z$ after the input z$ line - if you think about it logically at that point in the code z$ doesn't equal anything, only after the input command does it contain something.

Cheers,

Rich

thanks Rich,
then all I have to do is:
print Z$ anywhere in the program....that's cool.
thanks again

Yes - or how about this:

input "Enter your name:",name$

Then you can just use "print name$" anywhere in your program.

Much easier, no?

Cheers,

Rich

even better.... your the man.
thanks

this is my first learning, trial and error ,goof off,just trying to figur it out program. please pick it apart.....thanks
