In tex Liberty basic I write:
a=5
print"number is ";5
and I get number is 5
How can I do that in Pure basic
the command debug is so confusing

Code: Select all
a = 5
Debug "number is " + Str(a)
OpenConsole()
PrintN("number is " + Str(a))
Input()
CloseConsole()

Even shorter: no need Str() in some cases
PB does an automatic number transtyping if the line starts with a string
(even if empty string "")
Code: Select all
a = 5
Debug "number is " + a
OpenConsole()
PrintN("number is " + a)
Input()
CloseConsole()

Note that debug should not be used for final programs, only for debugging.

Best to always format your numbers and not rely on implied behavior.
Use str(),strD(),roll your own, etc.
