what do you think about this? would you like to have the feature of variable expressions for STEP value instead only using #constants?
Code: Select all
;---- actual pure version - this works ----
FOR i = 0 TO 1024 STEP 64
your code...
NEXT
;---- add this feature / dont work in actual version ----
mystep = 1024/64 <<< STEP can ever be changed !!!
FOR i = 0 TO 1024 STEP mystep
your code...
NEXT

And well, I'd like to have floats in the first variable, can you edit your post and add a second question?

Its allready possible:
Code: Select all
For N=0 to 2000:N+YourStepValue
Next n
Thats the same way you have to do it in C or C#. So, your suggestion is fine but not realy in need!
Cheers

Maybe I missed something, but I expect using 10 as YourStepValue:
0, 10, 20, 30, ...
and not
11, 22, 33, 44 ...

Perhaps because the loop is incrementing the index N by 1 and then yourStepValue is adding another 10?

Yep. It would work with
Code: Select all
YourStepValue = 10
For N=0 To 2000-YourStepValue Step 0:N+YourStepValue
Debug n
Next n

Wouldn't it be better...
Code: Select all
YourStepValue=10
For N=0 to 2000
Debug N
N+YourStepValue-1
Next N
This should be more similar to the results in other basics

Mike, in your example you can do user defined steps but if you write it this way, you get wrong results, because you add the YourStepValue before using/work with N inside the loop! So you have to put N-YourStepValue in end of the loop and this way is way known (i dont like this way)!
See DoubleDutch´s example... that would be correct as long as pure dont support it directly with STEP value

Hi Fred!
Will you surprise us with this feature for 3.94 final?
